this week from some very major athletes.

[reporter 2] The president
of BALCO Laboratories.

00:00:56,015 --> 00:00:59,811
[Conte] "BALCO" is a word
that's now forever in the lexicon.

BALCO.

17
00:01:02,688 --> 00:01:05,191
The biggest doping scandal
in sports history.

18
00:01:05,775 --> 00:01:09,654
[Conte] Articles had come out saying
I was a modern-day Al Capone,

19

for evidence,

22
00:01:17,245 --> 00:01:21,457
linking Conte to a previously
undetected steroid known as THG.

23
00:01:21,541 --> 00:01:23,209
They called it The Clear.

24
00:01:23,292 --> 00:01:24,752
It is a designer steroid--

25
00:01:24,836 --> 00:01:27,505
Made for the sole purpose of cheating.

26
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:32,009

[commentator] A high drive…

30
00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:41,727
[Conte] The whole investigation,
in my opinion,

31
00:01:41,811 --> 00:01:43,938
was all about chasing headlines.

32
00:01:44,021 --> 00:01:48,860
Unfortunately, some in professional sports
are not setting much of an example.

33
00:01:48,943 --> 00:01:51,988
This is about values,
it's about our culture.

34
00:01:52,071 --> 00:01:56,075
Major League Baseball had a very,
very serious problem with steroids.

35
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:57,451
It wasn't dealt with.

36
00:01:57,535 --> 00:01:59,620
[Conte] I knew
they didn't have the evidence

37
00:01:59,704 --> 00:02:01,330
that they claimed that they had,

38
00:02:01,414 --> 00:02:05,376
and that's why I walked out into
a sea of reporters and did this.

39
00:02:06,544 --> 00:02:08,087
That meant this.

42
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:16,137
[Jeff Novitzky] I think most people
who hear and see Victor Conte

43
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:17,763
realize him for who he is,

44
00:02:17,847 --> 00:02:22,310
and that's, you know, a used car,
snake oil salesman, bullshit artist.

45
00:02:22,852 --> 00:02:28,482
[Conte] It was fun, it was exciting.
It was about trying to be great.

When Marion Jones hit the finish line
and won the gold medal,

47
00:02:32,403 --> 00:02:34,697

Thank you very much.

Yes, as Ken stated,
my name is Victor Conte,

86
00:05:11,187 --> 00:05:14,273

of BALCO Laboratories,

BALCO standing for, uh,
Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative,

of something called the SNAC system.

They've called it Victor's knack,
that whatever I decide to do,

90
00:05:26,869 --> 00:05:29,789
I can go straight to the top,
and I taught myself.

91
00:05:31,207 --> 00:05:33,042
I got a library card,

92
00:05:33,125 --> 00:05:35,461
and I pulled
all these scientific journals,

93
00:05:35,544 --> 00:05:39,006
then I would read 'em all.
I went across zinc and muscle strength,

94

zinc and testosterone.

95
00:05:41,258 --> 00:05:45,012
I learned athletes can be low in iron,
they could be lower in copper.

96
00:05:45,096 --> 00:05:48,599
Some of these deficiencies are connected
with various symptoms like

97
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:51,519
muscle cramps or lack of concentration.

98
00:05:51,602 --> 00:05:53,896
And we-- Hopefully, by, uh,
giving some input,

99
00:05:53,979 --> 00:05:56,273
we can help the United States
win a few more gold medals.

100
00:05:56,857 --> 00:06:00,569

and raised money and started BALCO.

We'll walk into the lab area.

103
00:06:11,205 --> 00:06:15,167
We started testing athletes,
one led to another, and…

104
00:06:15,251 --> 00:06:18,462
The first-world-class athletes
that I tested were in track and field.

105
00:06:18,546 --> 00:06:22,174
And then Matt Biondi, who was the world's
fastest swimmer at the time.

106
00:06:22,258 --> 00:06:25,719
So I could collect all this data
that was valuable to them.

107
00:06:25,803 --> 00:06:28,681
You know, I was kind of
a natural-born promoter.

108
00:06:28,764 --> 00:06:30,683
The next thing you know, NBA players.

109
00:06:30,766 --> 00:06:35,020
I worked with the entire
Seattle SuperSonics team in '92 and '93.

00:06:35,104 --> 00:06:38,107
[sports commentator speaks indistinctly]

111
00:06:39,316 --> 00:06:43,529
But for me to actually enhance
the performance of the athletes,

112
00:06:43,612 --> 00:06:45,865
I had to learn
how to formulate supplements.

113
00:06:45,948 --> 00:06:50,161
So I created a whole line of mineral
and trace element products

114
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:56,292
and formulated ZMA, and that-- I mean,
it was like a rocket ship.

115
00:06:57,585 --> 00:07:02,381
Pretty soon, Bill Romanowski showed up
from the Denver Broncos.

116
00:07:02,465 --> 00:07:05,134
And he-- he was the gateway
to the NFL for-- for me.

117
00:07:05,676 --> 00:07:08,846
Then all of a sudden
I had 250 NFL players.

-[Conte] Mr. Zinc.
-[laughter]

122
00:07:22,318 --> 00:07:26,405
[Conte] So from '84,
all the way until 2000,

123
00:07:26,489 --> 00:07:32,244
everything that BALCO and SNAC did
was completely legal, completely clean.

124
00:07:32,328 --> 00:07:35,915
No athletes were ever given
any sort of performance-enhancing drug.

125
00:07:36,749 --> 00:07:42,296
[chuckling] Now, were some of these guys
using drugs, like shot putters? Of course.

126

in-- in providing those to them.

00:07:46,050 --> 00:07:49,595
But I knew the use
of performance-enhancing drugs

129
00:07:49,678 --> 00:07:52,431
in Olympic sport was rampant.

in '88 in Seoul,

132
00:07:57,937 --> 00:07:59,772
of course Ben Johnson stands out.

133
00:07:59,855 --> 00:08:06,237

Unbelievable. Nine-seven-nine.

New world record. Incredible.

135
00:08:10,282 --> 00:08:12,826
Now, I've just been handed
a piece of paper that, if it's right,

136
00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:16,080
it'll be the most dramatic story out of
these Olympics or perhaps any others.

Ben Johnson
has been stripped of his gold medal

138
00:08:18,958 --> 00:08:21,544
for testing positive to using
anabolic steroids.

139

under a cloud of suspicion for a while,

140
00:08:25,923 --> 00:08:28,008
as is his coach, Charlie Francis.

141
00:08:28,092 --> 00:08:31,178
[Charlie Francis] Where you offer
an athlete only two choices,

142
00:08:31,262 --> 00:08:35,766
run clean and lose or take drugs and win,
then of course the choices will be clear.

143
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,227
[Conte] Working with elite athletes,

144
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:42,606
I realized this is what happens
at the elite level of sport.

145
00:08:42,690 --> 00:08:46,652
This is what it takes
to go to the next level.

147
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,447
that sports competition
is being pushed too far.

00:08:54,201 --> 00:08:55,953
President Bush recently signed a bill

151
00:08:56,036 --> 00:09:00,457
which, for the first time, classifies
steroids as controlled substances.

152
00:09:00,958 --> 00:09:05,379
Said it's the classic dilemma between
the fair play associated with sport

153
00:09:05,462 --> 00:09:06,880
and the desire to win.

154
00:09:06,964 --> 00:09:09,883
[people clamoring]

155
00:09:12,094 --> 00:09:15,639
In my experience, 80% of athletes say,

156
00:09:15,723 --> 00:09:19,435
"I'm not gonna invest 10 years of my life
then walk away, so give me those pills."

157
00:09:23,897 --> 00:09:25,441
[Montgomery] I hate losing.

158
00:09:26,442 --> 00:09:30,696
I hate for anyone to look at me
and say they beat me.

160
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:36,452
because they called me Tiny Tim.

161

I hate the name Tiny Tim.

162
00:09:40,998 --> 00:09:43,000

We had an old push lawn mower.

166
00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:54,553
The lawn mower was this tall,
and it had a little centerpiece there,

167
00:09:54,637 --> 00:09:56,013
so I'd be pushing, you know,

00:09:56,096 --> 00:10:00,392
and everybody was looking at me,
at little Timmy push the lawn mower.

00:10:00,476 --> 00:10:04,104
I'd push all that yard because I wanted
to be like Conan the Barbarian.

170
00:10:04,188 --> 00:10:07,191
I wanted to be stronger, faster.
I wanted to be everything.

171
00:10:08,233 --> 00:10:12,237
So I was really, in essence,
training myself for my near future.

172
00:10:13,697 --> 00:10:16,492
My goal was-- was
to be the best in the world,

173
00:10:16,575 --> 00:10:17,951
the greatest of all time.

174
00:10:18,744 --> 00:10:22,247
[commentator] Tim Montgomery of the US
may be, uh, a sleeper in this field.

175
00:10:22,331 --> 00:10:26,377
[Montgomery] In 1997, I ran nine times
under ten seconds…

176
00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:28,420
[commentator]
Montgomery and Donovan Bailey.

177
00:10:28,504 --> 00:10:31,256
…so I knew what I could do naturally.

178
00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:32,800
I just needed more power.

179
00:10:32,883 --> 00:10:34,635
[commentator] He's a little bit smaller.

180
00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:36,970
I think he may need
to put on a few pounds,

181
00:10:37,054 --> 00:10:38,514
and I think his time is coming…

182
00:10:38,597 --> 00:10:42,434
[Montgomery] So, in 1999,
I moved down to Raleigh, North Carolina,

183
00:10:43,018 --> 00:10:47,189
and I started training with Trevor Graham,
Marion Jones' coach.

184
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:49,692
And the workouts was--

185
00:10:49,775 --> 00:10:51,110
Couldn't finish 'em.

186
00:10:51,610 --> 00:10:55,447
So I go to Trevor's house
and he got tapes of Ben Johnson.

187
00:10:56,323 --> 00:10:57,199
I mean…

188
00:10:58,117 --> 00:11:00,703
I can't do no start like that.
It ain't how I start.

189
00:11:00,786 --> 00:11:02,871
He's like, "No, you see that raw power?"

190
00:11:03,706 --> 00:11:08,043
And that's when I was introduced
to the dark side.

191
00:11:08,127 --> 00:11:09,962
Performance-enhancing drugs.

192
00:11:11,255 --> 00:11:13,048
[Conte] The Ben Johnson race,

193
00:11:13,132 --> 00:11:16,927
eventually, something like six or seven
out of the eight guys

194
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:20,013
were suspected of using
performance-enhancing drugs.

195
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:23,016
If you run at least two meters faster,

196
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:26,270
this is the difference
of 10 flat and 9-8. Okay?

197
00:11:26,353 --> 00:11:30,733
So you're-- you're-- A guy not on stuff
is going to have a very difficult time

198
00:11:30,816 --> 00:11:32,860
competing with somebody who's on stuff.

199
00:11:34,111 --> 00:11:38,115
[Montgomery] When I got with Graham,
I saw that the best was doing it.

200
00:11:38,824 --> 00:11:41,744
I assumed that this was
what everybody was doing.

201
00:11:42,995 --> 00:11:47,708
[Conte] When I realized
the hypocrisy of all of this,

202
00:11:47,791 --> 00:11:51,378
I decided it was time to start playing
by the real rules of sport,

203
00:11:51,462 --> 00:11:54,506
and the rest is history, as they say.

204
00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:57,551
[hard rock music playing]

205
00:12:07,352 --> 00:12:11,690
[Conte] I went to a-- a bodybuilding show
in San Francisco,

206
00:12:11,774 --> 00:12:15,319
and I was introduced
to these 25 pro bodybuilders,

207
00:12:15,402 --> 00:12:17,196
all the biggest names in the sport.

208
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:18,280
Whoo!

209
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:22,409
[Conte] And it's
the only professional sport

210
00:12:22,493 --> 00:12:24,787
where the use of steroids is a mandate.

211
00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:30,584
And so I stood up to tell them we did this
testing of minerals and trace elements,

212
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:35,798
but we also have the ability to do
all of the comprehensive drug testing.

213
00:12:35,881 --> 00:12:37,466
[hard rock music continues]

214
00:12:39,927 --> 00:12:42,679
[Conte] We tested those 25 bodybuilders…

215
00:12:43,514 --> 00:12:44,348
[ding]

216
00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:47,226
…and I said, "These Winstrol
tablets you think you're taking?"

217
00:12:47,309 --> 00:12:49,770
"There's no Winstrol in your urine.
These are fake."

218
00:12:51,814 --> 00:12:56,693
That's how I became a part of that world
and tried to learn about steroids.

219
00:12:57,820 --> 00:13:02,366
It was a new challenge,
and that's what makes me tick.

220
00:13:02,449 --> 00:13:04,451
You know,
that's what got the wheels turning.

221
00:13:06,745 --> 00:13:08,247
[riveting music playing]

222
00:13:08,330 --> 00:13:09,540
[Catlin] I'm Oliver Catlin.

223
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:14,336
I am the son of the guru
of sport drug testing, Dr. Don Catlin.

224
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:19,049
And today I am the president
of Banned Substances Control Group.

225
00:13:19,842 --> 00:13:25,305
In anti-doping, the level playing field
is what we strive for,

226
00:13:25,389 --> 00:13:28,308
but it's hard to achieve.

227
00:13:28,892 --> 00:13:32,145
Victor knew what he wanted
in undetectable drugs,

228
00:13:32,229 --> 00:13:34,356
but he didn't know
how to make those himself,

229
00:13:34,439 --> 00:13:38,318
and that's where the skill set
of Patrick Arnold as a chemist came in.

230
00:13:38,819 --> 00:13:41,697
[Conte] At the Mr. Olympia Expo
in Las Vegas

231
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:43,407
is where I met Patrick Arnold,

232
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:45,242
and he just said he had some stuff

233
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,369
that seemed to, you know,
help with recovery.

234
00:13:47,452 --> 00:13:51,290
He didn't really even tell me what it was.
And so I bought a bottle of it from him.

235
00:13:51,874 --> 00:13:54,251
It was a clear liquid,
you used an eyedropper

236
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:57,588
and you put drops under your tongue.
It was sublingual absorption.

237
00:13:58,171 --> 00:14:01,091
Took it myself and it felt great.

238
00:14:02,217 --> 00:14:04,428
And then I did some testing on it,

239
00:14:04,511 --> 00:14:08,765
where I measured my testosterone
the next day, the next day and the next.

240
00:14:09,641 --> 00:14:13,478
And I realized, "Boy, this stuff
acts like an anabolic steroid."

241
00:14:15,647 --> 00:14:20,277
Many of the steroids had been built
by pharmaceuticals and just not used,

242
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,780
but when we got to BALCO,
new drugs were literally created.

243
00:14:24,656 --> 00:14:28,911
Patrick bubbled hydrogen through
gestrinone, a birth control pill,

244
00:14:28,994 --> 00:14:34,166
and it turned into one of the most
anabolic steroids that was ever created.

245
00:14:36,043 --> 00:14:40,088
[Conte] Then when I did the comprehensive
drug testing, it came back as clean.

246
00:14:40,631 --> 00:14:42,049
-[ding]
-It was undetectable.

247
00:14:42,132 --> 00:14:43,467
Oh, shit, you know?

248
00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:45,093
Then the light bulb went on.

249
00:14:46,011 --> 00:14:48,847
[Catlin] And I think he saw
performance-enhancing drugs

250
00:14:48,931 --> 00:14:52,100
that were undetectable
were a much quicker avenue

251
00:14:52,184 --> 00:14:55,520
than the legitimate nutrition products
that he was selling.

252
00:14:56,563 --> 00:14:59,733
That's when I started giving it
to athletes, at the beginning of 2000.

253
00:15:11,828 --> 00:15:12,746
How about this?

254
00:15:13,622 --> 00:15:15,248
[producer] What do you got?

255
00:15:15,332 --> 00:15:21,296
This is Marion Jones
at the, uh, 2000 Olympics in Sydney

256
00:15:21,380 --> 00:15:25,550
that they opened up where she wins
by something like four meters.

257
00:15:25,634 --> 00:15:30,472
That just shows you the type of dominance
that Marion had at that time.

258
00:15:33,392 --> 00:15:37,604
Going into the 2000 Summer Olympics,
Marion Jones was the golden girl.

259
00:15:37,688 --> 00:15:39,398
[commentator 1] …Jones taking command.

260
00:15:39,481 --> 00:15:41,191
[commentator 2] She has yet to be beaten.

261
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:43,902
[commentator 3] Her goal this year,
she'll say it: To be undefeated.

262
00:15:43,986 --> 00:15:45,028
She's a competitor.

263
00:15:45,696 --> 00:15:48,281
Marion Jones is making
three million dollars a year.

264
00:15:48,365 --> 00:15:52,577
In Sydney, she's going for five medals,
trying to be the greatest of all time.

265
00:15:52,661 --> 00:15:55,163
The only time I even consider
the quest for five

266
00:15:55,247 --> 00:15:57,040
is when people mention it. [laughs]

267
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,752
[Conte] She had sponsorships
with General Motors,

268
00:16:00,836 --> 00:16:05,382
American Express, Nike, you know,
the commercial "Can you dig it?"

269
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:09,261
[Jones] We need more role models.
The more, the better.

270
00:16:09,344 --> 00:16:10,762
Can you dig it?

271
00:16:10,846 --> 00:16:12,848
I had not talked with Marion,

272
00:16:12,931 --> 00:16:15,350
but had talked with her trainer,
Trevor Graham.

273
00:16:15,434 --> 00:16:17,561
They were using traditional testosterone

274
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:19,604
and EPO and growth hormone,

275
00:16:19,688 --> 00:16:22,566
and they said, "We hear you have
this undetectable substance."

276
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:25,027
"Can you help, uh, Marion Jones?"

277
00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:30,073
And immediately I realized
this was a very, very big moment,

278
00:16:31,116 --> 00:16:34,286
and I sent a box
of some of this stuff to them.

279
00:16:34,369 --> 00:16:37,497
[Australia's National Anthem,
"Advance Australia Fair" playing]

280
00:16:38,957 --> 00:16:44,212
[woman] I promise that we shall take part
in these Olympic Games,

281
00:16:44,296 --> 00:16:51,011
committing ourselves to a sport
without doping and without drugs.

282
00:16:51,094 --> 00:16:56,016
Once we got there,
we created a-- a calendar for Marion.

283
00:16:56,099 --> 00:17:00,562
We determined what to take,
how much to take, when to take it.

284
00:17:01,313 --> 00:17:04,149
Of course, it was all based
on circumventing the testing.

285
00:17:05,275 --> 00:17:08,779
[commentator] Marion Jones has seven
of the fastest 11 times ever run.

286
00:17:09,488 --> 00:17:14,659
[Conte] I got tickets to sit
at the finish line of the 100 meters.

287
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,620
It was insane.

288
00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:18,830
[commentator] Set.

289
00:17:21,083 --> 00:17:23,877
Away. Pretty good start for Jones.
She's in the winning position.

290
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,962
Early startup, pulling away slowly.

291
00:17:26,046 --> 00:17:28,507
We were shooting
for the-- for the top of the mountain.

292
00:17:28,590 --> 00:17:31,093
[commentator] Jones going hard.
Lawrence has had a good first 50.

293
00:17:31,176 --> 00:17:33,595
Jones clearly in front.
Look at the margin.

294
00:17:33,678 --> 00:17:34,888
She's straining them.

295
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:36,431
[Conte] I knew she would win,

296
00:17:36,515 --> 00:17:40,018
but I didn't think
she'd blow everybody away Flo-Jo style

297
00:17:40,102 --> 00:17:41,478
and win by four meters.

298
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:45,107
[commentator]
She absolutely annihilated them.

299
00:17:45,649 --> 00:17:49,736
[Conte] Marion ended up winning
five medals at the Olympics in Sydney.

300
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,865
It felt great to just be
a part of her success.

301
00:17:54,449 --> 00:17:56,660
-We're done. We're done.
-We're done.

302
00:17:58,453 --> 00:18:02,082
[Michael Schmidt] I think the-- the thing
about the BALCO investigation

303
00:18:02,582 --> 00:18:05,752
is that it brings you behind the scenes

304
00:18:06,253 --> 00:18:12,717
into largely criminal activity
that was done in secret.

305
00:18:12,801 --> 00:18:17,514
And it's-- it's exposing
what these athletes were willing to do

306
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:19,349
to try and succeed.

307
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:22,727
[commentator] That one's high.

308
00:18:22,811 --> 00:18:25,730
Deep right field, gone!
Home run, Barry Bonds.

309
00:18:25,814 --> 00:18:27,691
[audience cheering]

310
00:18:27,774 --> 00:18:30,986
[Schmidt] Steroids were banned
in baseball at the time,

311
00:18:31,069 --> 00:18:33,155
but there was no testing for them,

312
00:18:33,905 --> 00:18:37,367
and, in the late '90s
into the early 2000s,

313
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:40,704
it's just like an explosion in home runs.

314
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:43,748
[commentator] Canseco looks like
the sort of a comic book hero: Huge.

315
00:18:43,832 --> 00:18:45,876
Wow, did he crush that one?

316
00:18:46,376 --> 00:18:53,216
Then in 1998, there was this chase
to break the single-season home run record

317
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:56,803
between two great sluggers, Mark McGwire…

318
00:18:56,887 --> 00:18:59,723
[commentator] Number 45 for McGwire.

319
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:00,932
[Schmidt] …and Sammy Sosa.

320
00:19:01,016 --> 00:19:03,351
[commentator] One for two
and he sends a rocket. Number 48.

321
00:19:03,935 --> 00:19:08,732
And it completely captivated the country.

322
00:19:09,983 --> 00:19:11,818
[commentator 1] Sixty!

323
00:19:12,903 --> 00:19:15,071
[commentator 2] Can you say "66"?

324
00:19:16,281 --> 00:19:17,908
[commentator speaking indistinctly]

325
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:24,080
Number 70! How much more can
you give us than that? Number 70…

326
00:19:24,164 --> 00:19:28,335
[Schmidt] Bonds saw
what Sosa and McGwire had done.

327
00:19:28,418 --> 00:19:32,839
At that point in Bonds' career,
he was already a Hall of Famer.

328
00:19:33,632 --> 00:19:37,719
He basically said to himself,
"I know I'm better than these guys."

329
00:19:37,802 --> 00:19:38,720
[man] Whoo!

330
00:19:38,803 --> 00:19:42,766
[Schmidt] "There's no reason
I shouldn't be performing at that level."

331
00:19:42,849 --> 00:19:44,976
But he was at an age

332
00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:48,396
when most players' careers
are on the downtick,

333
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,106
when they retire from the game.

334
00:19:50,190 --> 00:19:53,610
And-- And I'm trying to think of,
what next level can I get to?

335
00:19:53,693 --> 00:19:55,946
What-- What can keep me motivated

336
00:19:56,029 --> 00:19:58,698
to do the things that I've been doing
day in and day out?

337
00:19:58,782 --> 00:20:02,160
[Conte] Greg Anderson, Barry's trainer,
brought him to-- to BALCO.

338
00:20:03,078 --> 00:20:06,373
You know,
he asked if-- if we could work with Barry

339
00:20:06,456 --> 00:20:10,377
and test his blood and see what
nutritional elements that he may need.

340
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:12,045
And then after providing Barry

341
00:20:12,128 --> 00:20:15,382
with a number of different
legal nutritional supplements.

342
00:20:16,258 --> 00:20:20,178
I've lost more championships
in my life more than ever, ever.

343
00:20:20,262 --> 00:20:25,392
I mean, I almost get numb at times.
It just eats me up so bad.

344
00:20:25,475 --> 00:20:27,185
[Conte] In a year's time there,

345
00:20:27,269 --> 00:20:29,521
Barry put on, like,
20 pounds in an off-season.

346
00:20:29,604 --> 00:20:31,731
My recollection is he weighed 208,

347
00:20:31,815 --> 00:20:34,985
and then the following season
he weighed 228.

348
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:38,738
And so we provided all sorts
of nutritional supplements,

349
00:20:38,822 --> 00:20:40,573
but nothing beyond that.

350
00:20:41,533 --> 00:20:45,453
[producer] I think people assume you're
his doctor giving steroids all the time.

351
00:20:45,537 --> 00:20:48,206
Not true. He does have a personal doctor,
who I met, but…

352
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:49,332
[chuckles] …it's not me.

353
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:51,835
I not only didn't give him
The Clear or The Cream

354
00:20:51,918 --> 00:20:53,503
or any other anabolic steroids,

355
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:58,300
but I've never even discussed steroids
with him, not a word ever.

356
00:20:58,383 --> 00:21:01,219
In my opinion,
the entire investigation was--

357
00:21:01,303 --> 00:21:03,221
Had everything to do with Barry Bonds.

358
00:21:03,305 --> 00:21:04,597
He was the target.

359
00:21:07,267 --> 00:21:08,852
[Novitzky] My name is Jeff Novitzky.

360
00:21:08,935 --> 00:21:12,230
I was lead investigator
on the BALCO Laboratories investigation,

361
00:21:12,314 --> 00:21:15,442
one of the highest-profile
performance-enhancing drug investigations

362
00:21:15,525 --> 00:21:16,359
of all time.

363
00:21:16,943 --> 00:21:20,697
And I carry an immense,
immense love for sport.

364
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:23,408
Basketball, I wanted to go
to the NBA until,

365
00:21:23,491 --> 00:21:24,868
maybe mid-part of college

366
00:21:24,951 --> 00:21:27,746
where you realize
that's probably not in the cards.

367
00:21:28,455 --> 00:21:32,625
And after college, came across an entry
from IRS criminal investigation division,

368
00:21:32,709 --> 00:21:36,755
and I'll never forget this, their motto
was "Be an accountant with a gun."

369
00:21:37,756 --> 00:21:39,257
And I thought, "All right,

370
00:21:39,341 --> 00:21:41,509
that's something
I could be interested in."

371
00:21:42,093 --> 00:21:45,805
I remember sitting in a class
and having a senior agent come in saying,

372
00:21:45,889 --> 00:21:48,475
"Make cases out of things
that you just see around you."

373
00:21:48,558 --> 00:21:50,393
"You don't need to wait
for an official referral

374
00:21:50,477 --> 00:21:51,686
from Washington, D.C."

375
00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:55,940
"If you see this really nice Ferrari
going down the street,

376
00:21:56,024 --> 00:21:59,861
run their plate and see if that person
would be making that kind of money."

377
00:21:59,944 --> 00:22:02,822
"If they don't, then maybe
you should look further into that."

378
00:22:03,323 --> 00:22:07,577
And I started to hear
in the '90s about BALCO Laboratories,

379
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:12,165
which, as the crow flies, is probably
less than a mile from where I lived.

380
00:22:12,248 --> 00:22:17,253
And that, despite them claiming
that they were a blood testing laboratory,

381
00:22:17,337 --> 00:22:21,383
what they were really doing is providing
athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.

382
00:22:22,717 --> 00:22:26,096
One of the first things I did was query
the currency transaction database,

383
00:22:26,179 --> 00:22:28,807
and saw that Victor Conte
and BALCO Laboratories

384
00:22:28,890 --> 00:22:32,352
were withdrawing hundreds
of thousands of dollars in currency

385
00:22:32,936 --> 00:22:35,397
for a purported blood testing laboratory.

386
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,400
That, by itself, appeared suspicious
and didn't seem right.

387
00:22:39,526 --> 00:22:41,403
Go on to some
of the online message boards,

388
00:22:41,486 --> 00:22:44,823
and Victor Conte talks very openly
about steroids

389
00:22:44,906 --> 00:22:47,325
and his knowledge of what drugs do what,

390
00:22:47,409 --> 00:22:51,329
about how much they cost,
about every athlete that he's worked with,

391
00:22:51,413 --> 00:22:55,250
and when I saw these athletes
that were going to BALCO,

392
00:22:55,333 --> 00:22:58,086
including Barry Bonds,
I thought to myself,

393
00:22:58,169 --> 00:23:03,049
"This could potentially get more attention
than any investigation before it,

394
00:23:03,758 --> 00:23:08,263
so we probably need to kind of expand
and see who else is involved."

395
00:23:11,975 --> 00:23:15,770
My first time seeing Victor was in Sydney,

396
00:23:15,854 --> 00:23:19,357
and we partied every single day.

397
00:23:21,025 --> 00:23:22,652
Every single day.

398
00:23:22,735 --> 00:23:24,571
[chuckles]

399
00:23:24,654 --> 00:23:27,907
[Conte] At that time,
he was ranked number eight in the world.

400
00:23:27,991 --> 00:23:32,078
[commentator] Men's 4 by 100 underway,
and here's the handoff to Tim Montgomery

401
00:23:32,162 --> 00:23:33,163
and the US has the lead…

402
00:23:33,246 --> 00:23:35,123
[Conte] He was one of the top guys.

403
00:23:35,206 --> 00:23:37,625
I decided it was time
to take it to another level,

404
00:23:37,709 --> 00:23:39,294
and help him break the world record.

405
00:23:40,378 --> 00:23:44,632
[Montgomery] At that time, the record
was 9.79, held by Maurice Greene.

406
00:23:44,716 --> 00:23:47,760
I was in that race,
1999, when he broke it in Greece.

407
00:23:48,595 --> 00:23:51,222
[commentator] Nine-seven-nine.
Does that ring a bell?

408
00:23:51,306 --> 00:23:52,682
As just mentioned, Ben Johnson

409
00:23:52,765 --> 00:23:55,477
had that very same time
at the '88 Olympics in Seoul,

410
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,397
only to be stripped of the gold medal
after testing positive.

411
00:23:59,481 --> 00:24:02,025
[Montgomery] Whoever broke
the world record in the 100 meters,

412
00:24:02,108 --> 00:24:05,111
you were the fastest human ever.

413
00:24:05,195 --> 00:24:06,654
It's like a unicorn.

414
00:24:07,655 --> 00:24:11,659
I told Maurice, "It's yours for now,
but I'll be back to get it."

415
00:24:11,743 --> 00:24:16,206
I had already run down
nine-nine-two in 1997. Clean.

416
00:24:16,289 --> 00:24:17,790
[commentator] …at the finish line…

417
00:24:17,874 --> 00:24:22,545
Once Victor understood
that I had been clean,

418
00:24:23,671 --> 00:24:26,007
he said,
"You're gonna break the world record."

419
00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:28,676
I told Victor Conte,
"I don't care if I die."

420
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:34,474
"I want to see what it feels like to be
the greatest at any cost possible."

421
00:24:34,557 --> 00:24:36,893
It's almost like
selling your soul to the devil.

422
00:24:37,894 --> 00:24:41,606
And that's when I made that decision
to help Tim Montgomery

423
00:24:41,689 --> 00:24:45,360
to become the world's fastest human,
and-- and I took it as a challenge.

424
00:24:45,944 --> 00:24:48,071
And we were gonna call it
Project World Record.

425
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:49,030
[man] Set.

426
00:24:49,113 --> 00:24:50,907
[intriguing jazz music playing]

427
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:54,869
[Montgomery] When we got back,
we were going to put together the plan.

428
00:24:55,870 --> 00:24:58,498
What do the program needs to look like

429
00:24:58,581 --> 00:25:03,670
in order to get nine-nine-two
to nine-seven-five?

430
00:25:04,170 --> 00:25:08,258
So you can talk about stuff,
but can you implement and achieve it?

431
00:25:08,341 --> 00:25:11,386
That's a whole 'nother--
That separates the men from the boys.

432
00:25:12,262 --> 00:25:15,348
I immediately reached out
to Charlie Francis,

433
00:25:15,431 --> 00:25:17,850
who was Ben Johnson's coach
and he lived in Toronto,

434
00:25:17,934 --> 00:25:20,770
and then I reached out to Milos Sarcev.

435
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:22,564
They call him Milos the Mind

436
00:25:22,647 --> 00:25:24,649
because he's a very smart guy.

437
00:25:24,732 --> 00:25:27,068
In terms of the weight training program,

438
00:25:27,151 --> 00:25:31,489
Trevor Graham really was kind of
the frontman as a coach.

439
00:25:31,573 --> 00:25:36,494
[Montgomery] And then Victor Conte,
you're behind the pharmacology.

440
00:25:36,578 --> 00:25:42,250
[Conte] Taking growth hormones,
taking insulin, EPO, taking The Clear,

441
00:25:42,333 --> 00:25:44,794
and we created a-- a calendar.

442
00:25:45,378 --> 00:25:46,963
[Montgomery] So when you on steroids,

443
00:25:47,046 --> 00:25:50,675
you have to have a plan
that goes with the medication.

444
00:25:51,676 --> 00:25:53,136
It was thrilling.

445
00:25:53,219 --> 00:25:55,847
[Conte] You know,
more does not mean better.

446
00:25:55,930 --> 00:25:58,558
This is how you optimize the drugs.

447
00:25:59,309 --> 00:26:03,104
He had a system.
I got me a real connect. A real doctor.

448
00:26:03,187 --> 00:26:05,982
Until I found out Victor wasn't a doctor.

449
00:26:07,233 --> 00:26:10,028
[Conte] A lot of people
mistakenly call me doctor.

450
00:26:10,111 --> 00:26:12,030
I don't know why, 'cause I-- I guess

451
00:26:12,113 --> 00:26:15,241
because I'm interpreting
blood test results and I'm giving them

452
00:26:15,325 --> 00:26:18,661
the type of information that a doctor
would give them, I guess.

453
00:26:18,745 --> 00:26:22,957
Most people know me as a bass player.

454
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,128
I played with many groups that had albums.

455
00:26:27,211 --> 00:26:29,922
Uh, the most famous
would be Tower of Power.

456
00:26:30,006 --> 00:26:32,133
["What is Hip" by Tower of Power playing]

457
00:26:32,216 --> 00:26:35,428
♪ The passing years would show
You into a hip trip ♪

458
00:26:35,511 --> 00:26:37,680
But I had three daughters.

459
00:26:37,764 --> 00:26:40,808
I was on the road ten months a year,

460
00:26:40,892 --> 00:26:43,895
and I'd come back
and they'd be this much taller.

461
00:26:45,313 --> 00:26:46,689
Hi, camera.

462
00:26:46,773 --> 00:26:49,192
-[Conte] Well, how are you?
-How are you?

463
00:26:49,275 --> 00:26:51,319
[Conte] I want you to tell me
what your name is.

464
00:26:51,402 --> 00:26:52,695
What's your name?

465
00:26:52,779 --> 00:26:54,864
[Conte] No, you tell me what's your name.

466
00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:58,201
-My name is Veronica.
-[Conte] Where do you live at?

467
00:26:58,284 --> 00:27:00,370
We-- I live at my house.

468
00:27:00,453 --> 00:27:04,457
My youngest memory, there were always
athletes around, and oftentimes,

469
00:27:04,540 --> 00:27:07,335
the people we were going to support
were making big achievements

470
00:27:07,418 --> 00:27:08,961
and so it was exciting.

471
00:27:09,045 --> 00:27:13,341
[Conte] Could you tell Daddy what the name
of the place is that he works at?

472
00:27:13,424 --> 00:27:15,677
-Yeah.
-[Conte] What's the name?

473
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,679
It's BALCO.

474
00:27:17,762 --> 00:27:20,765
[Conte] BALCO? What is--
What does BALCO do?

475
00:27:21,432 --> 00:27:23,393
You working.

476
00:27:23,476 --> 00:27:26,104
[Conte] I know, but what do I do there?
What kind of work?

477
00:27:26,187 --> 00:27:30,692
So I would say in my teenage years was
when I really knew, "Okay, this is--"

478
00:27:30,775 --> 00:27:32,360
"My dad's involved in the dark side."

479
00:27:32,443 --> 00:27:36,823
And he was just open and honest with me
about what was going on.

480
00:27:37,323 --> 00:27:40,243
At the time,
I knew that he was kind of the mastermind

481
00:27:40,326 --> 00:27:42,829
behind this Project World Record effort.

482
00:27:50,420 --> 00:27:52,672
[indistinct chatter]

483
00:27:52,755 --> 00:27:54,549
[Conte] Oh, this is Modesto Relays.

484
00:27:55,049 --> 00:27:57,552
This is May of 2001.

485
00:27:58,219 --> 00:28:00,096
[commentator] Tim Montgomery in two…

486
00:28:00,179 --> 00:28:03,725
That was the first race
where he won in a world-leading time.

487
00:28:03,808 --> 00:28:05,518
Tim just destroyed it.

488
00:28:07,353 --> 00:28:08,980
[Veronica] Tim won. Tim won!

489
00:28:09,063 --> 00:28:10,982
-[man] He did?
-[Veronica] Tim won!

490
00:28:11,065 --> 00:28:12,650
-Oh my God!
-[man] They're shaking hands.

491
00:28:12,734 --> 00:28:15,820
[Veronica] They're shaking hands, so cute.
I love this!

492
00:28:15,903 --> 00:28:18,614
This is the most exciting thing
I've ever experienced.

493
00:28:19,115 --> 00:28:22,118
[Conte] On the back of his shirt,
it says "Project World Record."

494
00:28:22,702 --> 00:28:23,953
We were there announcing

495
00:28:24,036 --> 00:28:26,247
that we were going
to break the world record.

496
00:28:26,789 --> 00:28:31,377
I ran nine-nine-six.
We knew from then it was no stopping.

497
00:28:31,461 --> 00:28:33,045
[propulsive music playing]

498
00:28:33,129 --> 00:28:35,423
[Conte] The transformation was incredible.

499
00:28:35,506 --> 00:28:37,133
[Montgomery]
Starting Project World Record,

500
00:28:37,216 --> 00:28:39,761
I weighed 148 pounds.

501
00:28:40,928 --> 00:28:43,014
[Conte] We bulked him up to 176.

502
00:28:43,097 --> 00:28:46,350
We put, like, 28 pounds of muscle on him
in a short period of time.

503
00:28:49,437 --> 00:28:51,564
Greg Anderson was coming to BALCO

504
00:28:51,647 --> 00:28:54,609
to help Tim Montgomery
with all the weight training,

505
00:28:54,692 --> 00:28:59,071
and in eight weeks his bench press
went from 265 to 345.

506
00:28:59,155 --> 00:29:01,032
Ten pounds a week increase.

507
00:29:01,115 --> 00:29:04,660
He looked like an NFL linebacker,
and previously they called him Tiny Tim.

508
00:29:04,744 --> 00:29:08,331
[Montgomery] It was incredible.
Felt like Conan the Barbarian.

509
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:09,290
[clang]

510
00:29:09,373 --> 00:29:12,043
[Montgomery] Me and Victor,
we were together all day.

511
00:29:12,126 --> 00:29:15,713
Ate breakfast together, lunch together,
dinner together, we partied together.

512
00:29:15,797 --> 00:29:18,007
It became like we're a team.

513
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:19,342
My habits changed.

514
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:21,010
I had a plan,

515
00:29:21,093 --> 00:29:24,472
how much to take, when to take them,
and what to take with them.

516
00:29:25,139 --> 00:29:26,808
You know, he became kind of muscle-bound.

517
00:29:26,891 --> 00:29:30,102
You could see he was running like this
because his lats were so big.

518
00:29:30,186 --> 00:29:32,772
Then we cut him back to about 160.

519
00:29:32,855 --> 00:29:34,315
Victor Conte was honcho.

520
00:29:35,066 --> 00:29:37,443
And then from there, I went to Oslo.

521
00:29:37,527 --> 00:29:39,570
[commentator] On the right,
here comes Tim Montgomery.

522
00:29:39,654 --> 00:29:42,406
It's Montgomery in lane four
with a late surge.

523
00:29:42,490 --> 00:29:45,701
Unofficially 9.84 seconds.

524
00:29:45,785 --> 00:29:47,119
[Montgomery] And I felt so good.

525
00:29:47,203 --> 00:29:48,621
Oh, I could beat everybody.

526
00:29:48,704 --> 00:29:51,290
[commentator] Boy, the difference
has been pronounced this year.

527
00:29:51,374 --> 00:29:53,960
Only Maurice Greene has ever run faster.

528
00:29:54,919 --> 00:29:59,882
This is the transformation that happens.
It-- It makes you Superman.

529
00:29:59,966 --> 00:30:02,385
[reporter] Montgomery makes history,
but more importantly,

530
00:30:02,468 --> 00:30:04,595
he sends shock waves
through the sprint world.

531
00:30:04,679 --> 00:30:07,515
What has Trevor been teaching you?
Trevor Graham, your coach now.

532
00:30:07,598 --> 00:30:09,267
To stay patient and wait for it to come.

533
00:30:09,350 --> 00:30:12,103
Don't try to break the world record,
let the world record come to you.

534
00:30:15,189 --> 00:30:16,190
[man] Go!

535
00:30:16,274 --> 00:30:18,985
We were like,
"Next race we break the world record."

536
00:30:19,068 --> 00:30:21,654
"Next race. Next race up,
we break the world record."

537
00:30:22,154 --> 00:30:25,908
You're on the edge
of greatness and disaster.

538
00:30:26,951 --> 00:30:29,412
That feeling becomes addictive.

539
00:30:31,831 --> 00:30:32,832
[pouring]

540
00:30:34,792 --> 00:30:36,419
[ding]

541
00:30:37,628 --> 00:30:40,464
[Novitzky] For me, this thing
that I love so much, sport,

542
00:30:40,548 --> 00:30:45,469
were being sullied by the presence
of PEDs and breaking rules,

543
00:30:45,553 --> 00:30:48,764
and the unethical decisions of,
"Well, I'm gonna break this rule

544
00:30:48,848 --> 00:30:51,475
because it's gonna get me
something good on the other end."

545
00:30:52,351 --> 00:30:54,729
And so this case consumed my life.

546
00:30:54,812 --> 00:30:56,856
It literally consumed my life, and--

547
00:30:56,939 --> 00:30:58,900
From the time I woke up in the morning,

548
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:02,904
to the time that I went to sleep at night,
that's literally all I was thinking of.

549
00:31:02,987 --> 00:31:05,031
-[whirring]
-[mellow jazz music playing]

550
00:31:12,788 --> 00:31:16,667
[producer] What gave you the idea
to go through his trash to begin with?

551
00:31:16,751 --> 00:31:20,504
Yeah, I think that was a technique
in the first couple of years of my career,

552
00:31:20,588 --> 00:31:23,758
and a lot of agents didn't like to do it,
'cause it wasn't fun.

553
00:31:25,092 --> 00:31:27,094
[jazz music continues]

554
00:31:30,306 --> 00:31:35,478
However, I don't think trash examinations
have ever gotten as much notoriety…

555
00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:37,146
[chuckling] …and coverage as mine did.

556
00:31:40,691 --> 00:31:42,985
So BALCO was
a lower-risk trash collection.

557
00:31:43,069 --> 00:31:46,072
They put their trash out
every Monday night.

558
00:31:46,155 --> 00:31:48,741
And I'd go, you know, 11:00, midnight,

559
00:31:48,824 --> 00:31:51,285
got in and out of there
as fast as possible.

560
00:31:57,500 --> 00:32:01,337
This is just various stuff
that was unsealed during the BALCO trial.

561
00:32:01,921 --> 00:32:04,548
This is where the trash
was placed every night.

562
00:32:04,632 --> 00:32:07,093
Was right about here,
where in the mornings,

563
00:32:07,176 --> 00:32:09,428
the dump-- you know,
the trashman would come collect it,

564
00:32:09,512 --> 00:32:12,431
but he'd come here and it'd be empty
'cause I took it the night before.

565
00:32:15,101 --> 00:32:19,689
I'd usually drive it to a dumpster
that was well-lit, kind of in the area,

566
00:32:19,772 --> 00:32:23,818
so that I could discard the smelly stuff,
food items, that I didn't want.

567
00:32:26,070 --> 00:32:29,115
I remember bringing stuff home
the first night

568
00:32:29,198 --> 00:32:34,078
and I started finding these, uh,
medications, used like, torn-up wrappers.

569
00:32:34,161 --> 00:32:37,707
And I'm like, "Hey, am I-- am I right
in seeing what I'm seeing right here?"

570
00:32:37,790 --> 00:32:40,501
[Catlin] He needed to know
what the drugs were that he was finding,

571
00:32:40,584 --> 00:32:42,128
and so he called our lab.

572
00:32:42,211 --> 00:32:45,047
[chuckling] The lab folks
were suspicious, frankly.

573
00:32:45,131 --> 00:32:48,759
They were just-- You know, it was some
random person playing an IRS agent.

574
00:32:49,343 --> 00:32:53,139
[Novitzky] Basically came out
and told him what I was doing, um,

575
00:32:53,222 --> 00:32:54,557
and what I was finding.

576
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:58,477
[chuckling] And realized
that Jeff really was an IRS agent.

577
00:32:59,061 --> 00:33:01,897
[Novitzky] We started putting
some pieces of the puzzle together.

578
00:33:02,481 --> 00:33:05,985
So this was the first night I did,
and this was human growth hormone,

579
00:33:06,068 --> 00:33:09,363
a torn-up box, the box of testosterone.

580
00:33:10,614 --> 00:33:13,409
Here's the note
from a world champion shot putter.

581
00:33:13,492 --> 00:33:17,121
"Here's a check for the next cycle.
I need it by the end of the week."

582
00:33:17,204 --> 00:33:18,164
"Thanks. Kevin."

583
00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:22,668
He was just careless and haphazard
in what trash he threw away

584
00:33:22,752 --> 00:33:25,504
as anyone I've ever run across
in my law enforcement career.

585
00:33:30,051 --> 00:33:31,594
[tense music builds]

586
00:33:31,677 --> 00:33:33,054
[commentator 1] Top of the wrist…

587
00:33:33,137 --> 00:33:36,932
[commentator 2] Here's a long home run
by Bonds, number 39.

588
00:33:37,016 --> 00:33:38,809
It sails over the fence.

589
00:33:39,685 --> 00:33:44,065
This is the hottest man
in the history of baseball, home run-wise,

590
00:33:44,148 --> 00:33:47,068
at this point
in any season over 100 years.

591
00:33:47,151 --> 00:33:53,866
In 2001, Barry was going
for the 70 home run-- The season record.

592
00:33:53,949 --> 00:33:56,619
It was very exciting
for me to-- to know him

593
00:33:56,702 --> 00:33:58,287
and to be a fan of his

594
00:33:58,370 --> 00:34:01,624
and doing my best to help him
in any way that I could.

595
00:34:01,707 --> 00:34:03,959
[commentator] Number 43
on the year for Bonds.

596
00:34:04,043 --> 00:34:06,587
[Schmidt] So you've had this guy
with a Hall of Fame career,

597
00:34:06,670 --> 00:34:08,130
he's on the downslide,

598
00:34:08,714 --> 00:34:12,718
and all of a sudden
he begins performing at a level

599
00:34:12,802 --> 00:34:14,845
that-- that even Babe Ruth couldn't.

600
00:34:15,888 --> 00:34:17,431
[commentator] Number 45 for Bonds.

601
00:34:17,515 --> 00:34:21,060
I've never seen anything like this
in my life besides Mark McGwire,

602
00:34:21,143 --> 00:34:22,019
and Sammy Sosa…

603
00:34:22,103 --> 00:34:25,272
[reporter] Forty-nine homers faster
than any major-leaguer in history.

604
00:34:25,356 --> 00:34:27,566
I can't explain it.
If I knew what I was doing

605
00:34:27,650 --> 00:34:29,485
I would've done this a long time ago.

606
00:34:29,568 --> 00:34:31,570
[commentator] Fifty for Barry Bonds.

607
00:34:31,654 --> 00:34:35,991
[Novitzky] I think it was almost genius
that his scheme primarily was,

608
00:34:36,075 --> 00:34:38,494
"Barry Bonds, I'm going
to give you these drugs."

609
00:34:38,577 --> 00:34:41,163
"Don't pay me checks, money orders, wire."

610
00:34:41,247 --> 00:34:44,917
"Instead, you're going to promote
my SNAC line of supplements."

611
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,672
The acronym stands for Scientific
Nutrition for Advanced Conditioning.

612
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:52,758
The AM formula is called Vitalize.

613
00:34:52,842 --> 00:34:56,095
The PM formula is called ZMA.

614
00:34:56,178 --> 00:35:00,182
Tell the world that this is the reason why
you're approaching the home run record.

615
00:35:00,266 --> 00:35:02,518
[commentator] It is outta here!

616
00:35:02,601 --> 00:35:06,105
[Conte] Would you like to vitalize
your mind and vitalize your body?

617
00:35:06,188 --> 00:35:09,441
Then it's time to get
vitalized with the SNAC system.

618
00:35:09,525 --> 00:35:12,403
[rock music playing]

619
00:35:14,238 --> 00:35:17,783
[Conte] ZMA, it blew up
to the point where, in 2000,

620
00:35:18,409 --> 00:35:21,453
we had four different brands of ZMA

621
00:35:21,537 --> 00:35:25,958
in all 9,000 GNC stores nationwide.

622
00:35:26,458 --> 00:35:30,171
So you'd walk around any mall
and see ZMA in the window.

623
00:35:30,963 --> 00:35:32,756
This is Mr. Barry Bonds.

624
00:35:33,299 --> 00:35:35,176
This is a photo shoot that he did

625
00:35:35,259 --> 00:35:38,137
and they had a capture of him
on the front cover.

626
00:35:38,220 --> 00:35:41,307
[Novitzky] "And I want you to go out
and talk to Muscle and Fitness

627
00:35:41,390 --> 00:35:44,018
about how great my supplement line is."

628
00:35:44,101 --> 00:35:47,021
"Say, 'Liquid ZMA
helped me get five medals

629
00:35:47,104 --> 00:35:50,399
at the Sydney Olympics and break
these home run records.'"

630
00:35:51,066 --> 00:35:53,402
And, I mean,
that paid off a tremendous amount.

631
00:35:53,485 --> 00:35:56,488
I'm sure hundreds of thousands,
if not millions, in sales.

632
00:35:57,406 --> 00:35:58,866
[commentator] Here's the pitch.

633
00:35:58,949 --> 00:36:02,077
Bonds hits one hard to right field.

634
00:36:02,161 --> 00:36:03,329
Outta here!

635
00:36:03,996 --> 00:36:09,585
And he joins Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa,
Babe Ruth and Roger Maris,

636
00:36:09,668 --> 00:36:14,924
the only players to hit 60
or more home runs in a season.

637
00:36:15,007 --> 00:36:15,841
[Conte] Oh.

638
00:36:15,925 --> 00:36:20,346
This is a-- This is a room
where we dress up all the athletes.

639
00:36:20,429 --> 00:36:23,599
[chuckling] As you can see,
we got lots of different gear here.

640
00:36:25,351 --> 00:36:27,186
So, branding is how I win.

641
00:36:28,312 --> 00:36:31,732
[Montgomery] We were thinking that,
okay, we promote the ZMA,

642
00:36:31,815 --> 00:36:36,320
no one would find out
about what's behind the scene of the ZMA.

643
00:36:36,820 --> 00:36:38,656
He has the top athletes.

644
00:36:40,241 --> 00:36:43,410
It's like, when you're doing a crime,

645
00:36:43,494 --> 00:36:47,331
you think you're the smartest person
that's committing the crime.

646
00:36:48,332 --> 00:36:51,794
Then you look back and say, "That was
the dumbest thing I ever thought of."

647
00:36:53,963 --> 00:36:57,258
[commentator 1] The men's 100-meter dash
presented by Pontiac Grand Prix.

648
00:36:57,341 --> 00:37:00,678
[commentator 2] And there's a man who
I think is running very well this year.

649
00:37:00,761 --> 00:37:03,222
Tim Montgomery, I think,
is the favorite going into this final.

650
00:37:03,305 --> 00:37:04,306
[commentator 1] Has to be.

651
00:37:05,182 --> 00:37:09,061
Back in the finals
of the men's 100 meters at US trials,

652
00:37:09,144 --> 00:37:14,358
Nike was going to give me $50,000
to wear their clothes in the finals.

653
00:37:14,942 --> 00:37:16,610
[Conte] Tim wore the ZMA logo

654
00:37:16,694 --> 00:37:18,946
and we had two or three
different outfits made

655
00:37:19,029 --> 00:37:23,200
that were one piece that had ZMA on 'em,
and he wore them in many races.

656
00:37:23,284 --> 00:37:27,204
We already had an agreement
that was made that he would wear it,

657
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,749
and then at the last minute
there was some mention that,

658
00:37:30,833 --> 00:37:32,835
"Oh, Nike wants me to wear their stuff."

659
00:37:33,419 --> 00:37:34,545
And Victor was like,

660
00:37:35,129 --> 00:37:37,673
"Who you going to be loyal to,
me or them?"

661
00:37:38,257 --> 00:37:40,384
So I'm like, "It's 50,000 dollar, homie."

662
00:37:40,467 --> 00:37:43,053
And he was like,
"My time is worth millions."

663
00:37:43,137 --> 00:37:45,180
Project team leader's the boss,

664
00:37:45,264 --> 00:37:48,267
the project team leader's the one
that finances the whole project.

665
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:52,813
So I say, "Okay, you have been with me.
I'm going to wear ZMA in the finals."

666
00:37:54,189 --> 00:37:58,694
Not one person in track and field
has ever run with a vitamin company…

667
00:37:58,777 --> 00:38:00,362
[chuckling] …on their uniform

668
00:38:00,946 --> 00:38:03,115
in the history of track and field.

669
00:38:03,615 --> 00:38:07,119
[commentator] Here comes Montgomery,
and it is Tim Montgomery…

670
00:38:07,202 --> 00:38:08,871
[Montgomery] I wore ZMA in the finals

671
00:38:08,954 --> 00:38:11,081
and then I signed with Nike
after the race,

672
00:38:11,165 --> 00:38:13,584
and Victor was upset

673
00:38:14,084 --> 00:38:16,170
because he wanted
to control that contract.

674
00:38:16,253 --> 00:38:20,215
He went from being a doctor
to now an agent.

675
00:38:20,716 --> 00:38:24,261
If I had a signed agreement with Victor,
you would have seen it on the screen.

676
00:38:25,220 --> 00:38:27,306
For going to the world championship,

677
00:38:27,389 --> 00:38:31,518
Victor had already hit me with--
He wanted 35 percent of my winnings.

678
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:35,189
It was the percentage
that he wanted going forward.

679
00:38:35,689 --> 00:38:38,776
[Conte] That's-- I never asked
for any percentage of his winnings ever.

680
00:38:38,859 --> 00:38:42,154
That's just a complete lie
and a fabrication by-- by Tim.

681
00:38:42,237 --> 00:38:43,447
He was committed to me.

682
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:46,742
I brought him to the dance,
now he's gonna dance with somebody else?

683
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:48,827
You tell me, is that-- is that fair?

684
00:38:49,995 --> 00:38:54,333
And so, at a certain point, I just said,
"Well, I can't continue with this guy."

685
00:38:54,416 --> 00:38:56,460
I terminated my relationship with him.

686
00:38:57,002 --> 00:39:02,841
[Montgomery] I'm trying to fathom him
saying he ended the relationship with me

687
00:39:02,925 --> 00:39:05,844
and I'm on the verge
of breaking the world record.

688
00:39:05,928 --> 00:39:07,513
Listen, I like Victor.

689
00:39:07,596 --> 00:39:08,889
Victor hurt me…

690
00:39:10,265 --> 00:39:12,518
when he wanted 35%,

691
00:39:12,601 --> 00:39:14,645
because I considered him as a friend.

692
00:39:15,521 --> 00:39:19,400
"Look into my eyes and tell me
you feel like I owe you something."

693
00:39:19,483 --> 00:39:23,278
"What did you give me
for wearing ZMA at US trials?"

694
00:39:23,362 --> 00:39:26,740
So I was done with Victor, period.

695
00:39:26,824 --> 00:39:30,661
And Victor was like,
"Oh. Oh, you can't walk away."

696
00:39:30,744 --> 00:39:33,080
"I'm the show.
You ain't gonna run fast without me."

697
00:39:33,163 --> 00:39:36,041
I said, "Watch me.
I can do this on my own."

698
00:39:42,172 --> 00:39:44,425
[engine running]

699
00:39:44,508 --> 00:39:45,509
[engine stops]

700
00:39:54,977 --> 00:39:55,811
[door closes]

701
00:39:55,894 --> 00:39:59,481
[suspenseful music playing]

702
00:40:02,818 --> 00:40:04,987
[Novitzky] One thing, I was finding, uh,

703
00:40:05,070 --> 00:40:08,532
dozens of discarded
one-use syringe wrappers

704
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:12,703
but no syringes, and thought,
"Man, if I had the syringe,

705
00:40:12,786 --> 00:40:16,165
maybe I could send the syringe
for DNA analysis."

706
00:40:16,248 --> 00:40:18,750
We were able to subpoena
the medical waste company,

707
00:40:18,834 --> 00:40:22,171
so when they picked up the medical waste,
the sharps box from BALCO

708
00:40:22,254 --> 00:40:25,382
on a weekly basis,
they'd bring it back to their hub,

709
00:40:25,466 --> 00:40:28,427
set it aside for me
and I would go through that.

710
00:40:28,510 --> 00:40:30,220
Syringes we sent to laboratories.

711
00:40:30,304 --> 00:40:31,847
They were able to extract

712
00:40:31,930 --> 00:40:35,350
what the substances were
being, uh, injected.

713
00:40:36,059 --> 00:40:39,229
We were keeping track
of what mail was being delivered.

714
00:40:39,897 --> 00:40:43,734
They will give you where the mail's
coming from and who it's addressed to.

715
00:40:44,818 --> 00:40:47,696
And even found
an email from Patrick Arnold,

716
00:40:47,779 --> 00:40:52,493
where he's chronicling sending
Victor Conte the designer steroid.

717
00:40:52,576 --> 00:40:55,370
Financial ledgers
showing payments from the athletes,

718
00:40:56,038 --> 00:41:00,250
invoices for a substance
called epitestosterone.

719
00:41:00,751 --> 00:41:02,127
When you use The Clear,

720
00:41:02,211 --> 00:41:05,672
it would throw your natural hormone
imbalance completely out of whack,

721
00:41:05,756 --> 00:41:08,425
and that was something
that anti-doping was looking at.

722
00:41:08,509 --> 00:41:12,888
They were looking at something called
the testosterone to epitestosterone ratio.

723
00:41:12,971 --> 00:41:17,809
In sport, there's a four to one ratio
that we look for of T to E.

724
00:41:17,893 --> 00:41:22,856
If it's above four to one, that's a sign
that somebody's doping with testosterone.

725
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,820
[Novitzky] Victor Conte
created the Cream to bring up that ratio

726
00:41:28,904 --> 00:41:31,698
so that the testosterone
would not get out of whack

727
00:41:31,782 --> 00:41:33,283
and show an abnormal ratio.

728
00:41:34,326 --> 00:41:39,373
Using these protocols
to try to avoid detection,

729
00:41:39,456 --> 00:41:41,208
it's absolutely a cat-and-mouse game.

730
00:41:46,547 --> 00:41:48,674
[commentator] Annihilated it,
but to the second baseman,

731
00:41:48,757 --> 00:41:51,426
who turned it into a double play
the first time he faced him.

732
00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:55,097
Bonds swings, and there it goes.
It's heading for McCovey Cove.

733
00:41:55,180 --> 00:41:56,348
It is gone!

734
00:41:56,431 --> 00:41:57,432
A home run.

735
00:41:58,225 --> 00:42:00,811
Number 69 for Bonds.

736
00:42:01,395 --> 00:42:05,816
[Schmidt] I think the whole thing
starts to get a little curious.

737
00:42:05,899 --> 00:42:07,651
Like, what's really going on here?

738
00:42:07,734 --> 00:42:12,114
You know, baseball made a big deal
and the media made a big deal

739
00:42:12,197 --> 00:42:15,492
that players were, you know,
lifting weights, you know, in ways

740
00:42:15,576 --> 00:42:17,452
that players hadn't in decades before,

741
00:42:17,536 --> 00:42:23,667
and they're eating better and, you know,
that's why they're hitting more home runs,

742
00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:26,962
but it didn't totally add up.

743
00:42:27,546 --> 00:42:30,132
[commentator] He's within
one of the record.

744
00:42:30,924 --> 00:42:33,260
You know,
I saw these numbers being put out

745
00:42:33,343 --> 00:42:35,512
and knew what was going on
behind the scenes

746
00:42:35,596 --> 00:42:37,514
and knew that they weren't real.

747
00:42:37,598 --> 00:42:40,350
They were as a result
of using these-- these substances.

748
00:42:40,434 --> 00:42:41,685
[audience cheering]

749
00:42:41,768 --> 00:42:43,186
[commentator] Bonds with a drive…

750
00:42:43,270 --> 00:42:46,732
Looks like number 70 for Barry Bonds.

751
00:42:46,815 --> 00:42:53,322
And it is! Tying the all-time record set
in 1998 by Mark McGwire.

752
00:42:53,405 --> 00:42:56,575
[Conte] Can somebody gain 20 pounds
in a year, you know,

753
00:42:56,658 --> 00:42:57,826
without using steroids?

754
00:42:57,909 --> 00:42:59,578
And the answer is, they can.

755
00:43:00,537 --> 00:43:03,248
You know, it depends upon
what sort of training you're doing,

756
00:43:03,332 --> 00:43:06,668
how many calories you're consuming,
and what those calories consist of.

757
00:43:06,752 --> 00:43:09,713
[producer] I thought you gave
Barry Bonds a lot of steroids?

758
00:43:09,796 --> 00:43:12,924
[chuckles] No, I did not
give Barry Bonds any steroids.

759
00:43:14,009 --> 00:43:17,179
[commentator] There's a high drive
deep into right center field,

760
00:43:17,262 --> 00:43:19,056
to the big part of the ballpark!

761
00:43:19,139 --> 00:43:20,932
Number 71!

762
00:43:21,016 --> 00:43:22,643
And what a shot!

763
00:43:22,726 --> 00:43:25,937
Over the 421-foot marker.

764
00:43:27,481 --> 00:43:30,275
[Conte] I mean, I was not with him
when he was training.

765
00:43:30,359 --> 00:43:33,487
Greg was pretty much administering
whatever supplements that he took.

766
00:43:34,154 --> 00:43:36,239
[producer] And had you given
The Clear to Greg?

767
00:43:36,323 --> 00:43:37,324
Yes.

768
00:43:37,407 --> 00:43:40,285
This seems like a gotcha moment
that you want to go say,

769
00:43:40,369 --> 00:43:42,537
"I-- I know Barry Bonds took steroids."

770
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,749
That's not gonna happen
because I don't know that.

771
00:43:45,832 --> 00:43:48,043
Now, do you want me to guess?

772
00:43:48,126 --> 00:43:51,004
You want me to guess
if I think Barry Bonds took steroids?

773
00:43:51,088 --> 00:43:52,297
I think it's likely.

774
00:43:52,798 --> 00:43:54,758
Do I have any direct evidence?

775
00:43:55,342 --> 00:43:59,638
Only what I saw in terms of the discovery
that they gave me

776
00:43:59,721 --> 00:44:04,851
after the fact of some of the records
that Greg kept indicate that.

777
00:44:08,146 --> 00:44:09,272
[producer] Who's this one?

778
00:44:19,032 --> 00:44:22,828
It says "Bib," B-I-B.
I-- I don't know who that is.

779
00:44:22,911 --> 00:44:25,372
And then it says "March"
and it says "April."

780
00:44:26,248 --> 00:44:27,749
Let me see what else is on there.

781
00:44:27,833 --> 00:44:29,584
[producer] Could that be
Barry Lamar Bonds?

782
00:44:30,752 --> 00:44:35,340
[Conte] Could-- Could be B-L-B,
but this-- this is not my handwriting.

783
00:44:35,424 --> 00:44:37,718
I hate to speculate or guess.

784
00:44:37,801 --> 00:44:40,095
You know,
this could have been Greg Anderson,

785
00:44:40,178 --> 00:44:41,680
I-- I don't know that.

786
00:44:41,763 --> 00:44:44,725
So, I-- This is the first time
I've ever seen this.

787
00:44:54,317 --> 00:44:56,403
[Montgomery] In 2002,
I had no reason to panic,

788
00:44:56,486 --> 00:44:58,447
I had every reason to be happy.

789
00:44:58,947 --> 00:45:00,073
I'm training good.

790
00:45:00,741 --> 00:45:04,327
My times were even better
or the same, you know?

791
00:45:04,411 --> 00:45:09,416
[commentator] Tim Montgomery pulling away
from everybody with 9.91 seconds.

792
00:45:09,499 --> 00:45:11,460
He is getting more and more consistent.

793
00:45:11,543 --> 00:45:14,880
[Conte] He continued on
working with Charlie Francis

794
00:45:14,963 --> 00:45:17,132
with Trevor Graham as the frontman.

795
00:45:17,215 --> 00:45:20,552
And he had stockpiled enough of the drugs
that I'd given him.

796
00:45:20,635 --> 00:45:22,220
[Montgomery stammering] No.

797
00:45:22,304 --> 00:45:23,263
No.

798
00:45:23,346 --> 00:45:26,266
Not a person in this world
got a year's supply from Victor.

799
00:45:26,349 --> 00:45:29,019
He rations out everything week by week.

800
00:45:29,770 --> 00:45:32,689
I only had insulin
that was non-detectable,

801
00:45:32,773 --> 00:45:34,483
and I had HGH.

802
00:45:34,566 --> 00:45:39,446
So, as the year kept going,
I kept getting faster.

803
00:45:40,322 --> 00:45:44,659
And so last track meet of the year,
we at Grand Prix finals.

804
00:45:44,743 --> 00:45:47,412
[commentator] Running 9.91
earlier this year

805
00:45:47,496 --> 00:45:49,623
was Tim Montgomery in lane five.

806
00:45:49,706 --> 00:45:52,751
My mind was all over the place
coming out there.

807
00:45:52,834 --> 00:45:53,960
I just rolled with it.

808
00:45:54,044 --> 00:45:56,379
[commentator] …Olympic gold medalist
and world record holder.

809
00:45:56,463 --> 00:45:59,966
You feel like you are ready for it
'cause you trained up to that moment

810
00:46:00,050 --> 00:46:01,468
to do something great.

811
00:46:02,344 --> 00:46:04,346
Greatness comes when greatness comes.

812
00:46:04,429 --> 00:46:06,431
-[commentator] …is in lane four.
-[man] Set!

813
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:08,809
[commentator] Very fast start.

814
00:46:08,892 --> 00:46:12,312
Out quickly is Tim Montgomery.
Chambers beside him now.

815
00:46:12,395 --> 00:46:14,189
That was the part of me dreaming

816
00:46:14,272 --> 00:46:16,983
that one day I'd be a part
of something that would be great.

817
00:46:17,067 --> 00:46:20,695
[commentator] Montgomery with slight lead,
Montgomery by two feet, three feet.

818
00:46:21,196 --> 00:46:26,034
Nine-point-seven-eight seconds,
a world record for Tim Montgomery.

819
00:46:26,117 --> 00:46:28,662
Sensational performance to win…

820
00:46:29,162 --> 00:46:30,539
It was historic.

821
00:46:31,373 --> 00:46:33,041
[commentator] Nine-seven-eight.

822
00:46:33,124 --> 00:46:35,752
They posted what his reaction
time out of the blocks was.

823
00:46:35,836 --> 00:46:38,421
You cannot be
faster than one-tenth of a second.

824
00:46:38,922 --> 00:46:42,968
And so everybody,
"You see what you just done?"

825
00:46:43,051 --> 00:46:44,135
And I look back…

826
00:46:45,595 --> 00:46:48,098
it is nine-seven-eight, and I'm like…

827
00:46:49,182 --> 00:46:50,600
And the world just go black.

828
00:46:50,684 --> 00:46:54,354
[commentator] And it is official,
a world record for Tim Montgomery.

829
00:46:54,437 --> 00:46:56,773
[Montgomery] When I took the lap
and I came back around

830
00:46:56,857 --> 00:47:01,945
and I took the picture by 9.78,
I said to myself, "You done it."

831
00:47:02,529 --> 00:47:03,697
"You done it."

832
00:47:04,281 --> 00:47:07,200
[Conte] You know,
it was kind of bittersweet because

833
00:47:07,284 --> 00:47:10,120
I knew that wouldn't have happened
without me and without Milos

834
00:47:10,203 --> 00:47:13,290
and without Charlie,
and it-- it was a brain trust.

835
00:47:13,373 --> 00:47:15,876
It took-- He certainly
couldn't have done it on his own.

836
00:47:16,459 --> 00:47:18,295
That's my opinion anyway.

837
00:47:19,004 --> 00:47:21,047
[reporter] …new world record holder,
Tim Montgomery.

838
00:47:21,131 --> 00:47:23,341
You just stepped right in and took it all.

839
00:47:23,425 --> 00:47:25,969
It's unbelievable.
That's all I can say. It's unbelievable.

840
00:47:26,052 --> 00:47:27,178
[laughter]

841
00:47:27,262 --> 00:47:29,764
[reporter] How you gonna top this
for next year, Tim?

842
00:47:29,848 --> 00:47:31,141
Nine-seventy-five.

843
00:47:31,641 --> 00:47:34,769
I thought the next chapter of my life
was going to be, oh,

844
00:47:34,853 --> 00:47:36,897
the greatest of all time.

845
00:47:38,231 --> 00:47:40,567
Ended up being a nightmare. [chuckles]

846
00:47:42,777 --> 00:47:48,283
This instrument over here
that we have is a triple quad LC-MS.

847
00:47:48,366 --> 00:47:51,828
What you're looking at here
can take apart a molecule,

848
00:47:51,912 --> 00:47:54,331
put it into multiple different peaks

849
00:47:54,414 --> 00:47:58,877
that can then be fingerprinted
and matched to a drug in question.

850
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,173
So, this was what we used
to be able to break the code

851
00:48:03,256 --> 00:48:04,674
and break the back of BALCO.

852
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:06,635
[click]

853
00:48:06,718 --> 00:48:10,764
[Catlin] The process
of actually decoding what The Clear was

854
00:48:10,847 --> 00:48:15,393
started when this mystery
syringe arrived at our laboratory.

855
00:48:15,477 --> 00:48:19,731
[Novitzky] Turned out that that steroid
was given to USADA by Trevor Graham,

856
00:48:19,814 --> 00:48:22,233
the track and field coach
who, at one time,

857
00:48:22,317 --> 00:48:25,946
was working with BALCO and Victor Conte
but had a falling out.

858
00:48:26,029 --> 00:48:30,617
It was not at all simple for us
to figure out what it was.

859
00:48:31,201 --> 00:48:33,620
We put it through our instruments,

860
00:48:33,703 --> 00:48:36,873
and when you put a substance
into a mass spectrometer,

861
00:48:36,957 --> 00:48:38,625
you come up with a bunch of peaks,

862
00:48:38,708 --> 00:48:42,087
and it's a matter of trying
to identify those peaks,

863
00:48:42,170 --> 00:48:46,049
and that was ultimately the work
that took many months for us to do.

864
00:48:46,633 --> 00:48:49,260
[Novitzky] And they basically
reverse engineered it,

865
00:48:49,344 --> 00:48:52,138
and figured out what exactly
that they were looking at.

866
00:48:52,222 --> 00:48:55,016
So, unbeknownst to the athletes,
they had created a test for that

867
00:48:55,100 --> 00:48:58,228
when they thought they were using
a substance there was no test for yet.

868
00:48:58,311 --> 00:49:01,773
[tense music playing]

869
00:49:03,650 --> 00:49:07,779
[Conte] I knew for months and months
somebody's watching,

870
00:49:07,862 --> 00:49:12,867
and it started with the mailman saying,

871
00:49:12,951 --> 00:49:15,829
"Listen, there's law enforcement
of some kind

872
00:49:15,912 --> 00:49:17,914
that's copying all your mail every day."

873
00:49:17,998 --> 00:49:20,291
I need to start paying
attention a bit more,

874
00:49:20,375 --> 00:49:22,961
'cause it's-- Big Brother's watching.

875
00:49:23,461 --> 00:49:26,464
[Novitzky] Near the tail end of that year,
where I was collecting trash,

876
00:49:26,548 --> 00:49:30,010
I had a dumpster that was well lit
that I was regularly going to,

877
00:49:30,093 --> 00:49:31,261
and they moved the dumpster.

878
00:49:32,345 --> 00:49:35,306
And so I located what I thought
was another secure one.

879
00:49:38,268 --> 00:49:40,645
[Conte] Started getting calls
from the owner of the building.

880
00:49:40,729 --> 00:49:44,858
And he said,
"Stop dumping your trash in our dumpster."

881
00:49:45,442 --> 00:49:47,444
I said, "Oh my God."
I went over there to see,

882
00:49:47,527 --> 00:49:50,572
and sure enough, our trash was
in his dumpster. I said, "Oh my God."

883
00:49:50,655 --> 00:49:54,284
They did it again. They did it again.
But the third time, this guy called,

884
00:49:54,367 --> 00:49:56,870
he said, "I'm calling the police, okay?"

885
00:49:58,705 --> 00:50:02,751
My dad called me and said, "Hey, have you
looked at the throwaway paper this week?"

886
00:50:02,834 --> 00:50:06,796
I'm like, "No, why?" He goes,
"Look at their police blotter section."

887
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:11,551
Sure enough, there's a story about trash
from BALCO Laboratories illegally dumped.

888
00:50:11,634 --> 00:50:12,969
Scared me.

889
00:50:13,053 --> 00:50:16,139
You know, I came very close,
I think, to-- to being caught.

890
00:50:16,222 --> 00:50:19,517
So, the combination
of the trash being discovered,

891
00:50:19,601 --> 00:50:21,394
the mail cover being disclosed,

892
00:50:21,478 --> 00:50:26,316
we thought it's about time now, I think,
that we needed to go overt in this case.

893
00:50:28,485 --> 00:50:30,403
[tense music sting]

894
00:50:30,487 --> 00:50:33,448
[Cheryl Hurd] So, on September 3rd, 2003,

895
00:50:34,407 --> 00:50:39,913
my assignment desk
received this weird call,

896
00:50:39,996 --> 00:50:44,793
"Go to this location." "But what time?"
"Well, we don't know what time."

897
00:50:45,376 --> 00:50:47,712
"Just be there and wait."

898
00:50:49,422 --> 00:50:51,841
We started seeing cars coming in.

899
00:50:51,925 --> 00:50:53,051
Looks like agents.

900
00:50:53,134 --> 00:50:54,302
What kind of agents?

901
00:50:54,385 --> 00:50:55,512
The IRS?

902
00:50:57,055 --> 00:51:01,309
We didn't know who they were after,
how long it was going to last.

903
00:51:01,392 --> 00:51:04,521
They're going into this building.
I don't know what BALCO is.

904
00:51:04,604 --> 00:51:05,563
We were on edge.

905
00:51:05,647 --> 00:51:08,316
We-- We didn't know
if-- if there would be gunfire.

906
00:51:08,900 --> 00:51:10,485
It was-- It was very intense.

907
00:51:11,611 --> 00:51:15,240
And right through that driveway,
and in here and here and here

908
00:51:15,323 --> 00:51:16,449
and around the corner,

909
00:51:16,533 --> 00:51:22,038
that's where six or seven black
cars came in full of SWAT team agents

910
00:51:22,122 --> 00:51:24,499
wearing flak jackets with rifles

911
00:51:24,582 --> 00:51:28,711
and-- and a helicopter came
and was hovering right there.

912
00:51:28,795 --> 00:51:31,297
[reporter] Federal agents raided
a Burlingame building

913
00:51:31,381 --> 00:51:34,968
housing the Bay Area
Laboratory Co-operative, BALCO.

914
00:51:35,051 --> 00:51:38,888
All of a sudden, SWAT teams came in.
It was-- It was like out of the movies.

915
00:51:38,972 --> 00:51:41,099
[Novitzky] There was
some controversy over,

916
00:51:41,182 --> 00:51:44,519
"Oh, they brought, you know,
20, 30 agents, they all had guns."

917
00:51:44,602 --> 00:51:47,981
Well, we-- we carry guns.
That's what we did,

918
00:51:48,064 --> 00:51:50,692
and we brought these guns
to every search warrant we did.

919
00:51:50,775 --> 00:51:53,069
Everything I saw,
they were secured to their side.

920
00:51:53,153 --> 00:51:55,321
They weren't drawn
as we were making entry.

921
00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:01,536
I looked out the window
and here comes ABC, NBC, CBS.

922
00:52:02,036 --> 00:52:04,789
Next thing you know,
these satellites are coming up.

923
00:52:04,873 --> 00:52:08,710
So somebody from Novitzky's team
must have called the news desk.

924
00:52:08,793 --> 00:52:10,587
[producer] Can you say
who your sources were?

925
00:52:10,670 --> 00:52:13,965
Of course I can't say who my sources are.

926
00:52:14,924 --> 00:52:16,801
I did not tip them off, no.

927
00:52:16,885 --> 00:52:20,722
Their neighbors are seeing
who the customers are of this business.

928
00:52:20,805 --> 00:52:24,058
They're seeing Barry Bonds
walk into this business frequently.

929
00:52:24,142 --> 00:52:27,187
People are going to start talking
and making some calls.

930
00:52:27,270 --> 00:52:30,732
[Hurd] A representative of BALCO
was escorted out of the building.

931
00:52:30,815 --> 00:52:32,734
[reporter] Victor Conte
is one of four people

932
00:52:32,817 --> 00:52:35,653
charged with distributing
the illegal substances.

933
00:52:35,737 --> 00:52:37,405
[Hurd] I'm looking and I'm saying,

934
00:52:38,281 --> 00:52:43,286
"Who is that guy with the ZMA hat on
kind of cocked to the side,

935
00:52:43,369 --> 00:52:45,121
sweating profusely?"

936
00:52:45,205 --> 00:52:46,664
He must be the bad guy.

937
00:52:46,748 --> 00:52:50,668
That's my job as a reporter.
Find out who the bad guy is.

938
00:52:50,752 --> 00:52:52,337
Federal officials wouldn't tell us

939
00:52:52,420 --> 00:52:55,548
what they found
inside BALCO Laboratories last week.

940
00:52:55,632 --> 00:52:59,177
No one has been charged,
and no arrests have been made.

941
00:52:59,260 --> 00:53:00,970
[reporter] But US Olympic officials

942
00:53:01,054 --> 00:53:03,598
believe BALCO
could be involved in a conspiracy

943
00:53:03,681 --> 00:53:06,851
to beat drug tests
by designing a new steroid.

944
00:53:07,727 --> 00:53:09,812
[Veronica] It felt very over the top.

945
00:53:10,813 --> 00:53:13,733
Like, "Is there more to this story
than I know?" You know?

946
00:53:13,816 --> 00:53:16,986
Like, why is this being amplified so much?

947
00:53:18,029 --> 00:53:20,782
[tense music playing]

948
00:53:20,865 --> 00:53:23,743
[Novitzky] When we were conducting
the search warrant at BALCO,

949
00:53:23,826 --> 00:53:28,164
we found bankers boxes
with athletes' names on the box--

950
00:53:28,248 --> 00:53:30,083
On these folders within that box,

951
00:53:30,166 --> 00:53:33,711
and then within those folders
were doping calendars,

952
00:53:33,795 --> 00:53:36,547
financial ledgers, uh, Quest, uh,

953
00:53:36,631 --> 00:53:40,009
urine steroid tests,
some of them positive, um,

954
00:53:40,093 --> 00:53:43,513
and then multiple boxes
full of these drugs.

955
00:53:44,097 --> 00:53:47,392
It was a virtual pharmacy, uh,
that we found in the storage locker.

956
00:53:48,434 --> 00:53:51,521
And based on the amount of evidence
that I had collected,

957
00:53:51,604 --> 00:53:53,314
I knew what questions to ask.

958
00:53:53,398 --> 00:53:56,276
I'm reading here
from the memorandum of interview

959
00:53:56,359 --> 00:53:59,529
written by Jeff Novitzky,
September 3rd, 2003.

960
00:54:00,238 --> 00:54:03,241
And he had a list that he had made.

961
00:54:03,324 --> 00:54:06,369
It said, "Track and Field,"
"NFL," and "MLB,"

962
00:54:06,869 --> 00:54:08,955
and he had these names on the list.

963
00:54:09,831 --> 00:54:12,750
[Novitzky] We went down that list,
and absolutely, he said,

964
00:54:12,834 --> 00:54:16,170
definitively, "I've given these athletes
The Clear and The Cream."

965
00:54:16,254 --> 00:54:20,091
[Conte] He said, "Did you work
with these players or these athletes?"

966
00:54:21,301 --> 00:54:25,263
And I thought he meant blood testing,
nutritional supplements,

967
00:54:25,346 --> 00:54:27,348
developing individualized program.

968
00:54:27,974 --> 00:54:30,893
No mention about giving
any drugs to any of them.

969
00:54:30,977 --> 00:54:33,313
Yeah, that's not the truth.

970
00:54:33,396 --> 00:54:37,567
I mean, I was very explicit about that.
Think about it, I go in there and say,

971
00:54:37,650 --> 00:54:39,986
"Have you worked with these athletes?"
And not ask,

972
00:54:40,069 --> 00:54:42,613
"What does that work entail?
Have you given them drugs?"

973
00:54:42,697 --> 00:54:44,365
That's the whole reason I was there.

974
00:54:44,449 --> 00:54:48,161
Never gave Barry Bonds
The Cream or The Clear.

975
00:54:48,244 --> 00:54:50,621
He can't give you one shred of evidence

976
00:54:50,705 --> 00:54:54,459
linking me to having anything to do
with giving Barry Bonds steroids.

977
00:54:55,043 --> 00:54:56,669
And if he's got it, where is it?

978
00:54:58,588 --> 00:55:00,423
[Novitzky] Barry Bonds was consistently

979
00:55:00,506 --> 00:55:03,092
providing urine
and blood samples to BALCO.

980
00:55:03,176 --> 00:55:06,679
I have those records and they showed
he was testing positive for things like

981
00:55:06,763 --> 00:55:10,224
methenolone,
high-level anabolic steroid, nandrolone,

982
00:55:10,725 --> 00:55:16,064
so there is no doubt he knowingly used
performance-enhancing drugs

983
00:55:16,147 --> 00:55:18,858
and used a lot of them
for a several-year period

984
00:55:18,941 --> 00:55:22,695
that assisted him in achieving
these-- these hallowed records in sports,

985
00:55:22,779 --> 00:55:23,780
without a doubt.

986
00:55:24,781 --> 00:55:27,492
[unsettling music playing]

987
00:55:33,873 --> 00:55:35,708
[reporter] This evening,
you've heard it before.

988
00:55:35,792 --> 00:55:37,502
Athletes and steroids.

989
00:55:37,585 --> 00:55:41,756
Dozens of the biggest names in sports
will be taking time off from competition

990
00:55:41,839 --> 00:55:47,178
to tell a grand jury what they know about
the maker of a so-called designer steroid.

991
00:55:48,304 --> 00:55:50,681
[Novitzky] After the raid,
we subpoenaed several dozen

992
00:55:50,765 --> 00:55:54,644
of these high-profile athletes
to the grand jury in San Francisco

993
00:55:55,228 --> 00:55:58,689
and told 'em, "Tell the truth in there,
this may be the last you hear from us."

994
00:55:58,773 --> 00:56:01,401
"You're certainly not going to be
a target of this investigation

995
00:56:01,984 --> 00:56:03,986
if you go in and tell the truth."

996
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,283
I get, uh, a… subpoena,

997
00:56:10,368 --> 00:56:13,788
and they're sitting down saying that
they have ledgers and everything

998
00:56:13,871 --> 00:56:15,248
on us working with Victor.

999
00:56:16,124 --> 00:56:18,543
So I talked about my involvement.

1000
00:56:18,626 --> 00:56:20,378
I was taking The Clear.

1001
00:56:20,461 --> 00:56:23,506
HGH, I did use.

1002
00:56:24,090 --> 00:56:26,426
And I told them grand jurors

1003
00:56:26,509 --> 00:56:29,053
that you don't know
what you was getting for Victor.

1004
00:56:29,137 --> 00:56:30,930
Victor was a con artist.

1005
00:56:31,931 --> 00:56:32,932
He's not a doctor.

1006
00:56:36,018 --> 00:56:38,646
[Novitzky] These powerful
hormonal substances

1007
00:56:38,729 --> 00:56:42,483
really hadn't undergone
any clinical trials or human testing.

1008
00:56:42,567 --> 00:56:45,319
So they were literally
using these athletes as guinea pigs.

1009
00:56:47,697 --> 00:56:50,783
[Montgomery] Victor can read about
what HGH does to the body,

1010
00:56:50,867 --> 00:56:52,952
he can read about what EPO does,

1011
00:56:53,035 --> 00:56:57,623
and then he can use you to see
if he got the formula right.

1012
00:56:58,583 --> 00:57:00,585
[Novitzky] Even found an email
from Patrick Arnold:

1013
00:57:00,668 --> 00:57:02,420
"Hey, here's what I've created,

1014
00:57:02,503 --> 00:57:06,883
but I don't quite know what the dosage is
so you have to experiment on that."

1015
00:57:07,467 --> 00:57:08,843
Some of the female athletes said,

1016
00:57:08,926 --> 00:57:11,846
they didn't get their menstrual cycles
for months if not years

1017
00:57:11,929 --> 00:57:13,389
while they were on this stuff.

1018
00:57:13,473 --> 00:57:16,434
Victor Conte is your doctor
and your pharmacist.

1019
00:57:16,517 --> 00:57:18,102
That's very, very dangerous.

1020
00:57:18,186 --> 00:57:23,524
Oh, my God. So I've been doing
comprehensive blood testing on everybody,

1021
00:57:23,608 --> 00:57:25,776
making sure
there were no adverse health effects

1022
00:57:25,860 --> 00:57:27,570
and all the dosages were correct.

1023
00:57:27,653 --> 00:57:29,197
So the opposite was true.

1024
00:57:30,198 --> 00:57:34,410
You become numb
to what's right and what's wrong.

1025
00:57:36,287 --> 00:57:37,788
At the end of the day,

1026
00:57:38,498 --> 00:57:40,416
I wanted something so bad…

1027
00:57:42,126 --> 00:57:45,254
at any price… possible.

1028
00:57:47,715 --> 00:57:50,051
[John Ashcroft]
After an 18-month investigation,

1029
00:57:50,134 --> 00:57:54,180
a federal grand jury
in the Northern District of California

1030
00:57:54,263 --> 00:57:59,769
unsealed a 42-count indictment
charging four individuals

1031
00:57:59,852 --> 00:58:06,150
with distribution of illegal
anabolic steroids to dozens of athletes.

1032
00:58:06,234 --> 00:58:09,362
[reporter] Today's indictment
charges Bonds' trainer, Greg Anderson,

1033
00:58:09,445 --> 00:58:12,698
and this man, Victor Conte,
with running the operation,

1034
00:58:12,782 --> 00:58:17,245
money laundering and using code names
for drugs to cover up the scheme.

1035
00:58:17,328 --> 00:58:19,914
Illegal steroid use calls into question

1036
00:58:19,997 --> 00:58:23,000
not only the integrity
of the athletes who used them,

1037
00:58:23,084 --> 00:58:27,088
but also the integrity
of the sports that those athletes play.

1038
00:58:27,171 --> 00:58:31,759
Well, I think it's rather odd
that, uh, Mr. Ashcroft got involved.

1039
00:58:31,842 --> 00:58:34,971
I don't want to say it's political,
but it is political.

1040
00:58:35,054 --> 00:58:38,724
The use of performance-enhancing drugs
like steroids

1041
00:58:38,808 --> 00:58:41,727
in baseball, football and other sports,

1042
00:58:41,811 --> 00:58:44,730
is dangerous
and it sends the wrong message.

1043
00:58:44,814 --> 00:58:47,066
So tonight I call on team owners,

1044
00:58:47,149 --> 00:58:49,527
coaches and players to take the lead,

1045
00:58:49,610 --> 00:58:53,406
to get tough
and to get rid of steroids now.

1046
00:58:53,489 --> 00:58:57,451
It's like, uh,
going after a fly with a bazooka

1047
00:58:57,535 --> 00:58:59,829
when there are thousands
of other flies running around.

1048
00:58:59,912 --> 00:59:02,623
It's not even going
to make a dent in the problem.

1049
00:59:02,707 --> 00:59:04,458
[tense music playing]

1050
00:59:07,211 --> 00:59:08,921
[reporter] If convicted on all counts,

1051
00:59:09,005 --> 00:59:12,883
the defendants face
long prison terms and hefty fines.

1052
00:59:14,218 --> 00:59:17,722
I knew that they didn't have the evidence
that they claimed that they had.

1053
00:59:17,805 --> 00:59:21,809
Why do you think on the day
of the 42-count indictment

1054
00:59:21,892 --> 00:59:25,646
that I walked out
into a sea of reporters and did this?

1055
00:59:25,730 --> 00:59:27,106
That meant this.

1056
00:59:35,615 --> 00:59:39,577
[Veronica] At that point, there were times
he was in the news every day.

1057
00:59:39,660 --> 00:59:41,662
So every time there were court hearings,

1058
00:59:41,746 --> 00:59:45,166
there was a ton of media
really villainizing him.

1059
00:59:45,833 --> 00:59:49,086
Um, forty-two counts,
it seemed like a lot.

1060
00:59:50,129 --> 00:59:54,967
You know, I remember him grabbing my hand
to guide me through the media

1061
00:59:55,051 --> 00:59:57,428
and all the cameras
and everyone shouting, and…

1062
00:59:57,511 --> 00:59:59,055
it's intimidating.

1063
00:59:59,889 --> 01:00:04,268
The whole investigation, in my opinion,
was all about chasing headlines.

1064
01:00:04,352 --> 01:00:08,397
Novitzky was bragging
to the undercover agents, you know,

1065
01:00:08,481 --> 01:00:11,442
saying, "I'm going to be
the modern-day Eliot Ness."

1066
01:00:11,525 --> 01:00:14,820
"I'm going to bust Al Capone.
Movie deals, book deals."

1067
01:00:14,904 --> 01:00:19,450
Yeah, I probably said that because,
going back to my training,

1068
01:00:19,533 --> 01:00:22,328
you, as an agent,
need to find those investigations

1069
01:00:22,411 --> 01:00:24,372
that are going to get the most coverage.

1070
01:00:24,455 --> 01:00:28,250
And hopefully, other people out there
that are breaking a similar law

1071
01:00:28,334 --> 01:00:32,463
are gonna say, "I don't want to get
caught up in this, so I'm gonna back out."

1072
01:00:34,465 --> 01:00:38,302
I believe that Jeff Novitzky
was feeding information to the Chronicle.

1073
01:00:38,386 --> 01:00:40,346
Nope. Not whatsoever.

1074
01:00:40,429 --> 01:00:42,765
I think it was
his narcissistic personality

1075
01:00:42,848 --> 01:00:46,977
that, you know, Victor was like,
"No publicity is bad publicity."

1076
01:00:47,061 --> 01:00:50,898
Um, you know, I remember
the night he went on 20/20.

1077
01:00:51,399 --> 01:00:54,944
He was indicted,
but the case hasn't been resolved yet,

1078
01:00:55,027 --> 01:00:58,155
and we got a call
from his defense attorneys saying,

1079
01:00:58,239 --> 01:01:02,201
"I don't know what our guy's doing.
He's going on 20/20 tonight."

1080
01:01:02,284 --> 01:01:05,788
"An entire hour is dedicated
to everything he's been doing."

1081
01:01:06,288 --> 01:01:11,252
I knew that this was the most coveted
of all, you know, records and gold medals.

1082
01:01:11,335 --> 01:01:17,299
Um, so we kind of had a collective dream
and I was the mastermind, so to speak.

1083
01:01:17,383 --> 01:01:20,803
[Martin Bashir] You're designing,
in effect, a criminal conspiracy

1084
01:01:20,886 --> 01:01:22,722
to break the world record.

1085
01:01:24,390 --> 01:01:26,100
That's what it was, wasn't it?

1086
01:01:27,393 --> 01:01:31,689
Well, if you're asking if it included
illegal activity, the answer would be yes.

1087
01:01:32,189 --> 01:01:33,023
And sure enough,

1088
01:01:33,107 --> 01:01:36,694
he disclosed all of his criminal activity
on national television.

1089
01:01:36,777 --> 01:01:38,237
Nobody does that.

1090
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:42,700
Are you saying Marion Jones
was a drugs cheat?

1091
01:01:42,783 --> 01:01:43,868
Without a doubt.

1092
01:01:43,951 --> 01:01:47,079
And that you saw her even inject herself?

1093
01:01:47,163 --> 01:01:48,456
You saw that happen?

1094
01:01:49,290 --> 01:01:50,332
That's correct.

1095
01:01:50,916 --> 01:01:54,420
Victor Conte is delusional. [chuckles]

1096
01:01:54,503 --> 01:01:59,258
To start taking out athletes
on the system he was part of.

1097
01:02:02,428 --> 01:02:06,849
[Bashir] Did you fear there was
a moral problem when you realized

1098
01:02:06,932 --> 01:02:10,603
that if you wanted to compete
you had to cheat?

1099
01:02:11,103 --> 01:02:12,104
The answer is no.

1100
01:02:12,188 --> 01:02:15,316
If you've got the knowledge that
that's what everybody's doing,

1101
01:02:15,399 --> 01:02:19,069
and those are the real rules of the game,
then you're not cheating.

1102
01:02:25,201 --> 01:02:27,828
[Conte] I-- I was called
a lot of very bad names.

1103
01:02:27,912 --> 01:02:31,665
Dr. Frankenstein,
the Saddam Hussein of sports.

1104
01:02:32,291 --> 01:02:37,755
But one of the most important things
you learn is that you need adversity.

1105
01:02:38,297 --> 01:02:39,131
You know?

1106
01:02:39,215 --> 01:02:42,176
If you want to build big muscles
you got to lift big weights.

1107
01:02:44,386 --> 01:02:47,181
[Ed Swanson]
Victor was in a difficult spot

1108
01:02:47,264 --> 01:02:48,599
when we got into the case.

1109
01:02:48,682 --> 01:02:52,144
Uh, he had done the 20/20 interview,

1110
01:02:52,228 --> 01:02:55,189
the case was on the boil

1111
01:02:55,272 --> 01:02:58,400
and it wasn't headed in the direction
that he wanted it to go.

1112
01:02:58,484 --> 01:03:02,363
Victor's previous counsel
had already filed a number of motions

1113
01:03:02,446 --> 01:03:05,282
to suppress evidence,
to suppress statements,

1114
01:03:05,366 --> 01:03:09,119
dealing with the agents
in a very confrontational manner,

1115
01:03:09,203 --> 01:03:12,289
and Victor had to make a big decision,

1116
01:03:12,373 --> 01:03:15,209
whether or not
to try and resolve the case,

1117
01:03:15,292 --> 01:03:18,254
or whether to be embroiled
in this battle for the next year.

1118
01:03:18,337 --> 01:03:21,841
And Victor made the decision
to have us negotiate the case.

1119
01:03:22,424 --> 01:03:28,097
We thought this case involved warehouses
of steroids and millions of dollars,

1120
01:03:28,180 --> 01:03:30,432
because that's the way
the story was being told.

1121
01:03:30,516 --> 01:03:34,019
Once we started to look at it,
everything began to shrink

1122
01:03:34,103 --> 01:03:38,732
and the millions became hundreds
and the warehouse became a locker,

1123
01:03:38,816 --> 01:03:41,986
and the amount of drugs became something
you could fit in your hand.

1124
01:03:42,069 --> 01:03:46,907
Our technical term for the amount of drugs
in this case was "teensy."

1125
01:03:48,325 --> 01:03:51,370
Week after week,
we would sit down with the prosecutors

1126
01:03:51,453 --> 01:03:53,455
and would take another piece of the case,

1127
01:03:53,539 --> 01:03:57,918
and we would say, "You've charged this,
it's not illegal and here's why."

1128
01:03:58,002 --> 01:04:01,046
To their credit, they listened to us
and they pushed back,

1129
01:04:01,130 --> 01:04:03,465
and it was so much fun.

1130
01:04:03,549 --> 01:04:05,759
There's no question what he had done.

1131
01:04:05,843 --> 01:04:08,387
He had provided athletes
with the substance.

1132
01:04:08,470 --> 01:04:10,306
The question was, was that illegal?

1133
01:04:11,181 --> 01:04:13,058
The Clear was not illegal,

1134
01:04:13,142 --> 01:04:15,895
and our position was
even The Cream was not illegal.

1135
01:04:15,978 --> 01:04:19,273
[McNamara] Which was a diluted
amount of steroid testosterone

1136
01:04:19,356 --> 01:04:21,400
in a lotion to be applied on the skin.

1137
01:04:21,483 --> 01:04:23,736
And the law didn't apply to mixtures.

1138
01:04:24,904 --> 01:04:28,699
[McNamara] The amount of money
that Victor was transacting

1139
01:04:28,782 --> 01:04:30,993
amounted to less than a thousand dollars,

1140
01:04:31,076 --> 01:04:36,498
which is so below the power of what
federal prosecutions generally prosecute.

1141
01:04:36,582 --> 01:04:39,293
[Swanson] It was as thin as it gets.

1142
01:04:39,376 --> 01:04:42,546
There's never another case we've seen
where someone was charged

1143
01:04:42,630 --> 01:04:46,300
with drug distribution of an amount
that doesn't even register

1144
01:04:46,383 --> 01:04:47,885
in the sentencing guidelines,

1145
01:04:48,469 --> 01:04:50,304
but that was their case.

1146
01:04:50,930 --> 01:04:52,640
[reporter] Anything to say today, Victor?

1147
01:04:54,183 --> 01:04:55,351
Uh, afterwards.

1148
01:04:55,434 --> 01:04:57,645
[camera shutter clicking]

1149
01:04:57,728 --> 01:04:59,271
[Conte] I will never forget the day

1150
01:04:59,355 --> 01:05:02,733
that I picked up the front page
of the San Francisco Chronicle,

1151
01:05:02,816 --> 01:05:04,818
and the headline said,

1152
01:05:05,402 --> 01:05:08,781
"40 of 42 BALCO charges dropped."

1153
01:05:08,864 --> 01:05:12,451
And the subtitle was,
"The wrist slap heard around the world."

1154
01:05:12,534 --> 01:05:15,120
-[reporters clamoring]
-[reporter] Mr. Conte, care to comment…

1155
01:05:15,204 --> 01:05:18,958
[Hurd] Victor Conte pleaded guilty
to two felony counts today.

1156
01:05:19,041 --> 01:05:23,128
One, conspiracy to distribute steroids,
the other, money laundering.

1157
01:05:23,212 --> 01:05:25,339
The Feds should be embarrassed.

1158
01:05:25,422 --> 01:05:27,549
It started with 42 counts,

1159
01:05:27,633 --> 01:05:30,678
Victor Conte will now plead guilty
to only two counts.

1160
01:05:30,761 --> 01:05:34,682
And we quote, "This deal
does not require Mr. Conte to assist

1161
01:05:34,765 --> 01:05:39,353
the prosecution of any other person
involved in the investigation."

1162
01:05:39,436 --> 01:05:42,189
-[woman] So the athletes walk.
-[man] There'll be no federal charges

1163
01:05:42,272 --> 01:05:44,984
and no criminal charges
against any athlete.

1164
01:05:45,484 --> 01:05:48,320
Victor Conte was sentenced
to six months in federal prison.

1165
01:05:48,404 --> 01:05:49,780
Typically, in federal prison,

1166
01:05:49,863 --> 01:05:52,491
with good behavior,
you do 85% of that time.

1167
01:05:52,574 --> 01:05:54,410
So he did a little over four months.

1168
01:05:57,830 --> 01:06:03,335
Here's some pictures that my dad sent me
from the, um, prison camp.

1169
01:06:03,419 --> 01:06:05,963
This is him and his cellmate.
His name was Evil.

1170
01:06:06,046 --> 01:06:10,092
He was a scare to my dad at first,
let me tell you, as you can imagine why.

1171
01:06:10,175 --> 01:06:11,969
Like, oh, I'm dead meat in this cell--

1172
01:06:12,052 --> 01:06:14,763
[laughs] You know, when he first met him,
but he had his back,

1173
01:06:14,847 --> 01:06:16,765
and they became good friends.

1174
01:06:16,849 --> 01:06:18,559
They're still friends to this day.

1175
01:06:19,143 --> 01:06:23,063
I was happy to see
that he was making friends and really…

1176
01:06:24,523 --> 01:06:27,443
You know, it was humbling.
Humbling experience for him, so…

1177
01:06:29,111 --> 01:06:31,405
[Conte] I took full responsibility,

1178
01:06:31,488 --> 01:06:34,366
did not cooperate
in any way, shape or form.

1179
01:06:34,450 --> 01:06:35,743
I did some wrongdoing,

1180
01:06:35,826 --> 01:06:38,454
I deserved to go
to prison camp just like I did.

1181
01:06:38,537 --> 01:06:40,080
I went and I served my time.

1182
01:06:42,791 --> 01:06:46,712
And, of course,
when I went through the-- the front door,

1183
01:06:46,795 --> 01:06:48,881
they immediately grabbed me

1184
01:06:48,964 --> 01:06:51,592
and they put me through
the metal detector,

1185
01:06:51,675 --> 01:06:53,927
and it was, "Toes and nose
against the wall."

1186
01:06:54,011 --> 01:06:58,682
And here I am being handcuffed,
and I realized, "I belong to them now."

1187
01:07:00,768 --> 01:07:03,937
And I had mailed myself some magazines,

1188
01:07:04,021 --> 01:07:07,399
and I timed it so that it would get there
when I got there.

1189
01:07:10,736 --> 01:07:13,072
When they brought the mail that day,

1190
01:07:13,155 --> 01:07:17,451
they put my mail
through the food slot in the door.

1191
01:07:18,410 --> 01:07:21,413
In addition to the magazines
I'd sent myself

1192
01:07:22,498 --> 01:07:24,666
was this letter from my youngest daughter.

1193
01:07:24,750 --> 01:07:25,918
Where do you live at?

1194
01:07:26,001 --> 01:07:28,128
I live at my house.

1195
01:07:28,212 --> 01:07:30,380
[Conte] What's-- Where's your house?
In what city?

1196
01:07:30,464 --> 01:07:33,675
[voice breaking] And there were pictures
of my kids, and, uh…

1197
01:07:33,759 --> 01:07:35,969
[emotional music playing]

1198
01:07:36,053 --> 01:07:38,097
Yeah, that's kind of when it all hit me.

1199
01:07:38,972 --> 01:07:40,182
[sniffles]

1200
01:07:40,265 --> 01:07:43,727
[voice breaks] I realized that
I'd completely lost control of my life.

1201
01:07:44,311 --> 01:07:45,646
I hadn't really

1202
01:07:46,814 --> 01:07:49,483
reflected upon, you know…

1203
01:07:52,111 --> 01:07:54,947
how serious the consequences were.

1204
01:07:55,030 --> 01:07:58,742
But I thought that,
"I'm a big boy, I'm a man."

1205
01:07:58,826 --> 01:08:01,662
"Whatever happens,
I'll be able to deal with it."

1206
01:08:02,621 --> 01:08:04,665
I was-- Had been a horrible father.

1207
01:08:04,748 --> 01:08:08,210
I took-- I took their sense of security
away from them.

1208
01:08:09,336 --> 01:08:11,296
And created a lot of uncertainty.

1209
01:08:12,297 --> 01:08:14,842
[Veronica] I think
success is addictive, uh,

1210
01:08:14,925 --> 01:08:17,678
praise and credit is addictive,

1211
01:08:17,761 --> 01:08:20,639
but I don't defend what my dad did.

1212
01:08:21,140 --> 01:08:24,560
I think it's clear
that he crossed some ethical lines.

1213
01:08:25,394 --> 01:08:26,687
And I wish he didn't.

1214
01:08:27,688 --> 01:08:29,857
[voice breaking] But I didn't realize

1215
01:08:30,691 --> 01:08:34,695
that this was the same effect
on all the athletes' families.

1216
01:08:36,071 --> 01:08:38,782
That they had to deal with their kids
coming home saying,

1217
01:08:38,866 --> 01:08:42,202
"Dad, at school
they're saying you used steroids."

1218
01:08:42,286 --> 01:08:43,787
"Did you use steroids?"

1219
01:08:45,164 --> 01:08:48,750
And kids don't understand,
you know, so it's, uh…

1220
01:08:48,834 --> 01:08:50,419
[trembling]

1221
01:08:52,671 --> 01:08:54,715
[Montgomery] Three of my kids
run track and field.

1222
01:08:55,591 --> 01:08:58,093
The second-oldest boy
has been training with me.

1223
01:08:59,094 --> 01:09:01,263
He's like,
"Dad, what steroids do for you?"

1224
01:09:02,097 --> 01:09:03,974
And I said, "Ruin your whole life."

1225
01:09:04,892 --> 01:09:06,310
Runners, take your mark.

1226
01:09:08,145 --> 01:09:09,354
Set.

1227
01:09:09,438 --> 01:09:14,693
I told him, "If you cross the finish line
and you were first and tested positive,

1228
01:09:14,776 --> 01:09:16,028
what did you gain?"

1229
01:09:22,618 --> 01:09:25,245
When you leave,
you wanna know that you did it right.

1230
01:09:29,666 --> 01:09:31,627
Sometimes you can over try.

1231
01:09:33,045 --> 01:09:35,756
You got to always feel like
you don't have a second chance.

1232
01:09:37,257 --> 01:09:38,800
Everything I did in the past,

1233
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,220
all the wrongs I did,

1234
01:09:41,303 --> 01:09:43,847
well, my son said,
"Dad, I care nothing about that."

1235
01:09:44,890 --> 01:09:46,433
"I believe in you right now."

1236
01:09:48,727 --> 01:09:50,687
And so, as I think about it…

1237
01:09:52,981 --> 01:09:56,026
Victor Conte believed
in Project World Record the same way.

1238
01:09:57,319 --> 01:09:59,905
He believed in the dream.

1239
01:10:01,698 --> 01:10:04,743
I guess in some respects,
did we create a monster?

1240
01:10:04,826 --> 01:10:09,289
Uh, maybe a little, but, I mean, I think
most people who hear and see Victor Conte

1241
01:10:09,373 --> 01:10:11,625
realize him for who he is,

1242
01:10:11,708 --> 01:10:15,879
and that's, you know,
a used car, snake oil salesman guy,

1243
01:10:15,963 --> 01:10:16,922
bullshit artist.

1244
01:10:17,589 --> 01:10:19,716
I'd like to dedicate my life

1245
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:23,971
to helping to create a level playing field
for the young athletes of the future.

1246
01:10:24,554 --> 01:10:30,519
I'm, by far, most proud of my contribution
to the anti-doping movement,

1247
01:10:30,602 --> 01:10:33,522
and went and met with WADA,
the World Anti Doping Agency.

1248
01:10:33,605 --> 01:10:39,653
I reveal specifically how these athletes
are circumventing the anti-doping policies

1249
01:10:39,736 --> 01:10:41,363
and procedures in place.

1250
01:10:41,446 --> 01:10:44,908
What they're doing now is they're using
duck and dodge techniques.

1251
01:10:44,992 --> 01:10:47,577
Just take it like this
and put it under the tongue.

1252
01:10:47,661 --> 01:10:49,329
I think there's abuse going on.

1253
01:10:49,413 --> 01:10:51,790
I think there needs to be
a further investigation.

1254
01:10:51,873 --> 01:10:55,335
-But how many guys are using it?
-My guess is about 50%.

1255
01:10:55,419 --> 01:10:57,671
[Rogan] Fifty of MMA athletes,
or professional athletes?

1256
01:10:57,754 --> 01:10:58,588
Yes, of MMA.

1257
01:10:58,672 --> 01:11:01,216
Now because you can't make
a living cheating anymore,

1258
01:11:01,300 --> 01:11:05,220
you want to flip the other side
and call people out, pointing fingers?

1259
01:11:05,304 --> 01:11:07,764
I can't believe anybody
even listens to this guy,

1260
01:11:07,848 --> 01:11:09,599
anybody even quotes this guy.

1261
01:11:09,683 --> 01:11:12,978
Victor Conte is a two-faced piece of shit.

1262
01:11:13,061 --> 01:11:18,525
So Victor administrated the drugs,
then he gave the drug people the system

1263
01:11:18,608 --> 01:11:22,779
on how to catch you now
so that he can do something different.

1264
01:11:24,114 --> 01:11:27,075
And that's something
you can never take from a hustler,

1265
01:11:27,159 --> 01:11:28,368
the hustle.

1266
01:11:29,369 --> 01:11:32,706
[Conte] It just so happens
that the red-light district of sport,

1267
01:11:32,789 --> 01:11:35,292
which is boxing,
I was able to find a home there.

1268
01:11:35,375 --> 01:11:36,209
[grunts]

1269
01:11:36,752 --> 01:11:38,253
-[bell rings]
-[grunts]

1270
01:11:38,337 --> 01:11:41,048
With Victor,
people will come to me and say,

1271
01:11:41,131 --> 01:11:45,594
"He's a cheater and he's going to try to
give you drugs or he is giving you drugs,"

1272
01:11:45,677 --> 01:11:48,722
and stuff like that,
but I never really paid attention to it.

1273
01:11:48,805 --> 01:11:51,391
Yeah, I would say that
it is performance-enhancing,

1274
01:11:51,475 --> 01:11:53,143
just without the drugs.

1275
01:11:53,226 --> 01:11:55,687
[chuckling] Victor's definitely
the mad scientist.

1276
01:11:56,271 --> 01:11:57,564
You're a beast.

1277
01:11:58,148 --> 01:12:00,400
When you're doing high oxygen here,

1278
01:12:01,026 --> 01:12:04,279
it increases
the production of lactic acid,

1279
01:12:04,363 --> 01:12:09,576
that, in turn, triggers the production
of testosterone and growth hormone.

1280
01:12:09,659 --> 01:12:13,121
Your speed and your power are 10% greater.

1281
01:12:13,622 --> 01:12:16,833
There's a lot of things that work
that are legal.

1282
01:12:17,417 --> 01:12:21,213
[commentator] Wanted to see another gear
from Devin, he's showing us another gear.

1283
01:12:21,296 --> 01:12:24,049
Devin Haney is 30 and O.

1284
01:12:24,132 --> 01:12:25,967
He defends the undisputed…

1285
01:12:26,051 --> 01:12:29,846
[Novitzky] He'll take any publicity
as long as his name is in the lights,

1286
01:12:30,347 --> 01:12:33,141
so I don't think
you can believe a word that guy says.

1287
01:12:33,642 --> 01:12:35,519
[riveting music playing]

1288
01:12:35,602 --> 01:12:41,400
The BALCO investigation changed
the country's perspective

1289
01:12:41,483 --> 01:12:45,404
and the perspective
of the leagues towards drugs.

1290
01:12:45,904 --> 01:12:48,615
This record is not tainted at all.

1291
01:12:49,199 --> 01:12:50,158
At all.

1292
01:12:51,159 --> 01:12:55,414
[Schmidt] And it set off
consequential developments

1293
01:12:55,497 --> 01:12:59,709
that create
the drug-testing systems today.

1294
01:13:00,669 --> 01:13:04,131
[Veronica] I think the masses
remember Victor Conte

1295
01:13:04,214 --> 01:13:07,926
as the guy who single-handedly
brought down the world of sport.

1296
01:13:08,510 --> 01:13:09,970
I hope that changes.

1297
01:13:10,053 --> 01:13:12,097
[Hurd] Victor makes things work for him.

1298
01:13:12,180 --> 01:13:15,976
I think that that has a lot to do with him
controlling his own narrative.

1299
01:13:16,059 --> 01:13:19,813
I mean, it's the American way.
Isn't he still driving a Bentley?

1300
01:13:20,397 --> 01:13:23,900
[Conte] I realized there's no such thing
as bad publicity.

1301
01:13:23,984 --> 01:13:27,654
Like, Google Ads,
whatever the keywords that you put in,

1302
01:13:27,737 --> 01:13:30,282
if you put in "Barry Bonds"
or "Marion Jones"

1303
01:13:30,365 --> 01:13:32,325
or "BALCO" or whatever it is,

1304
01:13:32,909 --> 01:13:35,787
right next to it's an ad for ZMA, right?

1305
01:13:36,288 --> 01:13:39,708
So, in essence,
